Ingredients

  • 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

  2. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade.
  3. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
  4. Cook the chicken in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice into strips.
  6. Warm the naan bread in a skillet or oven until soft and pliable.

  8. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and sliced chicken.
  9. Fold the naan into wraps and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for extra juiciness.
  • Add jalapeños or spicy chutney for additional heat.
  • Pickled onions or shredded carrots add extra texture and flavor.
  • Store ingredients separately and assemble fresh wraps before serving.
  • Roasted cauliflower or paneer makes a delicious vegetarian alternative.
