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.
