Tender and flavorful tandoori chicken wrapped in warm naan bread with a refreshing mint-cilantro chutney. A quick and easy lunch option perfect for a flavorful midday meal.
**Marinate the Chicken:** In a bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and turmeric. Add the chicken pieces and mix well to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for better flavor).
**Prepare Mint-Cilantro Chutney:** In a food processor or blender, combine mint leaves, cilantro leaves, green chili, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and a little water. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to achieve your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
**Cook the Chicken:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Spread the marinated chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet (for oven) or grill grates (for grill). Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Alternatively, pan-fry the chicken in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil until cooked through.
**Warm the Naan:** Warm the naan bread in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
**Assemble the Wraps:** Spread a generous amount of mint-cilantro chutney on each naan bread. Top with cooked tandoori chicken. Roll up tightly and serve immediately.
Nutrition per serving (300g)
For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
If you don't have tandoori masala powder, you can substitute it with a blend of garam masala, paprika, cumin, coriander, and chili powder.
Customize your wrap with other toppings like sliced onions, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
For a spicier chutney, leave the seeds in the green chili.
You can use store-bought tandoori chicken or naan to further shorten the cooking time.
