Ingredients
- For the Tandoori Chicken:
- Chicken breast
- 2, boneless and skinless
- Yogurt
- 1 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Tandoori masala
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon
- Ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- For the Yogurt Sauce:
- Yogurt
- 1 cup
- Fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Mint leaves
- 8-10, finely chopped
- For the Wrap:
- Naan bread
- 4 pieces
- Red onion
- 1, thinly sliced
- Tomato
- 1, thinly sliced
- Cucumber
- 1, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori masala, garlic paste, ginger paste, and salt. This forms the marinade for the chicken.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are thoroughly cooked and have nice grill marks.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- While the chicken rests, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped cilantro, and chopped mint leaves. Mix well.
- Warm the naan bread on the grill or in a toaster oven until it is soft and pliable.
- To assemble the wrap, spread a generous amount of the prepared yogurt sauce on each piece of warm naan bread. Top with the sliced chicken, cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
- Fold the naan bread over the filling to create a wrap. Serve the Indian Tandoori Chicken Naan Wrap immediately for the best taste experience.
Tips
- Marinating the chicken overnight will yield a deeper flavor. You can add some chopped green chilies to the yogurt sauce if you prefer a spicy kick. This wrap can be customized with your favorite veggies or even some pickled ones for an extra tang.
