Notes

*You can also use the same amount of oregano. Tried them both and it was delicious.

** I usually do not have enough time so I marinate the chicken for only 10-15 minutes until my oven was ready and I got out all the ingredients for the wraps. You can also freeze in a zip lock bag until ready to cook, thaw and continue the rest of the steps as usual.

*** Calories are calculated for the chicken only not including tortillas, hummus, lettuce for the wrap or pasta and rice for the plate.
