1- Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into strips or alternatively, use chicken tenders.
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, olive oil, tandoori spice, paprika, garam masala, turmeric, Kashmiri chili, salt, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor.
2- Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the marinated chicken strips on the tray.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
3- Prepare the Mint Yogurt Chutney:
- In a food processor, combine cilantro, mint, garlic, jalapeño, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and yogurt. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4- Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the naan. Place a generous amount of tandoori chicken in the center of each naan.
- Drizzle with mint yogurt chutney.
- Top with sliced red onion and cilantro for garnish.
- Roll up the naan tightly to form a wrap.
