Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings Chicken: 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ½ medium lemon, juiced 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste ½ teaspoon ground turmeric ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs Raita: 1 (5.3 ounce) container plain Greek yogurt ½ cup peeled, shredded cucumber, drained 2 tablespoons shredded yellow onion 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste Wraps: 2 (8.8 ounce) packages naan breads (2 per package), warmed 2 cups shredded lettuce 4 thin slices red onion, separated into rings 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced Directions At least 2 hours ahead, or up to 8 hours ahead, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir ingredients well and add chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate. Stir chicken pieces and marinade about every 2 hours. About 30 minutes prior to grilling, make the raita by mixing yogurt, cucumber, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to make the wraps. Preheat an outdoor gas grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place chicken pieces in a single layer onto the oiled grate, and grill until no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and both sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken thighs and the distance of the grates to the heat. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place grilled chicken on a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Allow chicken to rest 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices. To assemble the wraps, divide ingredients evenly: Place chicken slices in the center of each naan bread. Top with shredded lettuce, onion rings, and tomato slices; spoon raita on top. Wrap each naan around the sandwich ingredients, and serve. Cook's Note: You can use pita bread instead of naan.
