Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, slice the red bell pepper and red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and set aside with the baby spinach and black olives.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden-brown color. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Warm the whole grain tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, place a generous handful of baby spinach on each tortilla. Top it with sliced chicken, then evenly distribute the cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and black olives.
Sprinkle each wrap with feta cheese, adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired, and then roll each tortilla tightly around the filling.
Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
