Marinate the Chicken:

-
Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

-
Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay a tortilla flat and place a lettuce leaf in the center.

- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and crumbled feta cheese.
-
Wrap and Serve:
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the fillings.

Notes:
- For added flavor, consider grilling the chicken instead of baking.
