Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken and place it in the warm tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese if using.
- Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
