Begin by preparing the chicken. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
To assemble the wraps, lay out the whole wheat wraps on a clean surface.
Evenly distribute the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sliced chicken on each wrap.
Drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette over the ingredients in each wrap.
Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll tightly from the bottom, making sure all ingredients stay inside.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a take-along meal.
