Save Elevate your lunch game with these Garlic Naan Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps. This fusion dish combines the savory, buttery goodness of Indian garlic naan with the classic, creamy crunch of a Caesar salad. It is a flavorful twist that brings together juicy grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and tangy dressing in a warm, pillowy embrace.
Save The secret to these wraps is the preparation of the chicken. By seasoning it with smoked paprika and garlic before grilling, you create a robust flavor profile that stands up to the creamy dressing. When rolled into a warm naan flatbread, it transforms a simple salad into a hearty, handheld feast.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly. After grilling, let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing; this keeps the juices inside and prevents the naan from becoming soggy.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegetarian version, substitute grilled halloumi or chickpeas for the chicken. You can also add crumbled bacon or anchovies for extra umami flavor. If you want more fiber, try using whole wheat naan flatbreads.
Serviervorschläge
Serve the wraps immediately with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, citrusy finish. They pair beautifully with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light, refreshing lager.

Common Questions
- → Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Prepare components separately in advance. Grill and slice chicken, wash lettuce, and mix dressing. Assemble wraps just before serving to prevent soggy naan.
- → What's the best way to warm the naan?
Brush naan with melted butter and grill for 1-2 minutes per side until warm and slightly charred. Alternatively, use a dry skillet or oven at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
- → Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?
Yes, shred rotisserie chicken and skip the grilling step. You'll miss the smoky paprika flavor, so consider adding smoked paprika to the Caesar dressing instead.
- → How do I prevent the wrap from falling apart?
Warm the naan thoroughly to make it pliable. Don't overfill with dressing, and fold the bottom up first before rolling from the sides to create a secure pocket.
- → What other proteins work well in this wrap?
Grilled halloumi or paneer make excellent vegetarian options. Shrimp or thinly sliced steak also pair beautifully with the Caesar flavors and garlic naan.
