Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts (2, boneless and skinless)
- Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
- Tandoori masala (2 tablespoons)
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
- Naan bread (4 pieces)
- Lettuce (2 cups, shredded)
- Tomatoes (2, sliced)
- Red onion (1, thinly sliced)
- Cucumber (1, thinly sliced)
- Cilantro (1/2 cup, chopped)
- Mint leaves (1/4 cup, chopped)
- Yogurt sauce (1 cup)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a nice char on the outside.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute. Then, slice the chicken into thin, bite-sized strips.
- Warm the naan bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overheat as the bread can become too crisp and difficult to fold.
- Spread a generous amount of yogurt sauce on each piece of warm naan bread.
- Next, layer the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, chopped cilantro, chopped mint leaves, and grilled chicken on top of the yogurt sauce.
- Fold the naan bread over the filling to form a wrap. If necessary, secure the wrap with a toothpick to hold it together.
- Serve the Tandoori Chicken Naan Wraps immediately while the bread is still warm and the chicken is juicy. Enjoy this explosion of flavors from the heart of India!
