Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Herb Marinade Preparation

Start by preparing the herb marinade. Finely chop the fresh herbs and mix them with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Cooking the Chicken

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Roasting the Zucchini

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced zucchini with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, until golden and tender.

Assembling the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place sliced herb-marinated chicken and roasted zucchini onto each tortilla. Roll them up tightly to serve. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or your favorite sauce.
