Begin by marinating the chicken: in a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coat them well with the mixture, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the rice. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the brown rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Place some brown rice across the center of the tortilla. Top with slices of grilled chicken, followed by cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
Sprinkle each wrap with fresh parsley before folding the sides of the tortilla over the filling and rolling them up tightly to enclose the contents.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
