Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons tandoori seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 naan breads
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 tomato, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup cucumber yogurt sauce or tzatziki

Directions

I combine the yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and olive oil in a bowl.
I add the chicken and coat it well in the marinade.
I let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
I cook the chicken in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
I transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice it into strips.
I warm the naan bread in a skillet or oven until soft.
I spread cucumber yogurt sauce over each naan.
I top the naan with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and sliced chicken.
I fold the naan into wraps and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

I usually serve these wraps with fries, salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Marinating Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 4 wraps

Variations

I sometimes use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts because they stay extra juicy during cooking. When I want more heat, I add sliced jalapeños or spicy chutney to the wraps. I also enjoy adding pickled onions or shredded carrots for extra texture and flavor. For a vegetarian version, I replace the chicken with roasted cauliflower or paneer.

storage/reheating

I store the chicken separately from the vegetables and naan in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm the chicken in a skillet or microwave and heat the naan briefly before assembling fresh wraps. I avoid storing fully assembled wraps because the naan can become soggy.

FAQs

What is tandoori seasoning made of?

I usually find that tandoori seasoning contains spices like paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and chili powder.

Can I grill the chicken instead of cooking it in a skillet?

I often grill the chicken because it adds an even smokier flavor that works perfectly in the wraps.

What sauce works best for these wraps?

I enjoy using cucumber yogurt sauce or tzatziki because the cool and creamy flavor balances the spices well.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

I prefer preparing the ingredients ahead and assembling the wraps right before serving for the best texture.

Can I use store-bought naan?

I regularly use store-bought naan because it saves time and still tastes delicious when warmed.

Conclusion

I enjoy making these Tandoori Chicken Naan Wraps because they are full of bold flavor, fresh ingredients, and satisfying texture. The juicy spiced chicken paired with soft naan and creamy sauce creates a meal that feels comforting and exciting at the same time. Whether I serve them for a quick dinner or a casual gathering, they always become a favorite at the table.
