Chicken Naan Greek-Inspired Wraps

These Chicken Naan Wraps bring together all the best parts of a Greek lunch in one bite. Juicy chicken gets tossed with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, then all the vibrant fixings are piled onto pillowy naan. A swipe of tzatziki finishes things off for a refreshing flavor pop. Whether you need a speedy weeknight dinner or something special for lunch, this is the kind of meal that feels like a treat yet is totally doable on busy days.

The first time I made these wraps was when I had leftover rotisserie chicken and some naan on hand. The combination turned out so flavorful it quickly became my go to when I want something satisfying and easy.

Ingredients

• Naan bread: makes the perfect soft and chewy wrap that holds up to fillings. Look for naan with a slightly golden surface which means it has been well baked
• Cooked shredded chicken: is the main protein. Rotisserie chicken works great for extra convenience
• Tzatziki sauce: adds creamy tang. Choose a version with thick yogurt and plenty of cucumber for freshness
• Cherry tomatoes: bring juicy sweetness. Look for bright red round ones with no wrinkles
• Cucumber: adds crunch and coolness. Use firm cucumbers with smooth green skin
• Red onion: gives a subtle bite and extra flavor. Slice as thinly as possible for best texture
• Feta cheese: creates a salty creamy punch. Good feta often comes in a block with brine for max flavor
• Olive oil: binds everything together. Go for extra virgin for the best rich notes
• Dried oregano: offers classic Greek flavor. Rub between your fingers for more aroma
• Salt and pepper: brings out all the other tastes. Use freshly cracked pepper if possible
• Fresh parsley: finishes with a burst of green and freshness. Flat leaf parsley works well

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the Chicken:

Combine the cooked shredded chicken with olive oil dried oregano salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece of chicken is coated for maximum flavor

Warm the Naan:

Gently warm the naan bread in a skillet or directly over a burner until soft and pliable but not crispy. This makes it easier to fold or roll the wraps later

Spread the Tzatziki:

Evenly spread a generous spoonful of thick tzatziki sauce over the entire surface of each piece of naan. Get into the edges for full flavor in every bite

Assemble the Fillings:

Layer the seasoned chicken cherry tomatoes diced cucumber thinly sliced red onion and crumbled feta across each naan. Arrange the ingredients so every bite gets a bit of everything

Garnish and Finish:

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top to add color and herby freshness. This final touch really wakes up all the flavors

Fold and Enjoy:

Carefully fold or roll each naan wrap. Hold gently but firmly so the fillings stay put and take a big bite while everything is still crisp and cool

Pin it

Whenever I crumble feta over these wraps I am reminded of my last trip to Greece tasting cheese made just down the road. That salty tang is what makes these wraps irresistible for me and my family always asks for extra feta.

Storage Tips

If prepping ahead store the chicken mixture and chopped vegetables in separate containers in the fridge. Keep the naan in a sealed bag on the counter and assemble the wraps just before eating for the freshest texture. Assembled wraps do not hold up well because the naan will absorb the tzatziki and become soggy.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can use rotisserie chicken grilled chicken or even leftover roast turkey for the meat. For a vegetarian swap grilled halloumi or spiced chickpeas work beautifully. Skip the feta if you need a dairy free option.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps with a small Greek salad or some roasted potatoes for a more substantial meal. A squeeze of lemon over the top right before eating really brightens everything up. For an easy appetizer cut the wraps into thirds and secure with toothpicks.

Cultural and Historical Notes

Naan is a soft leavened flatbread from South Asia but it pairs incredibly well with Greek inspired flavors here. Tzatziki is a classic Greek yogurt cucumber dip that brings freshness and balances the richness of meat and cheese. This fusion recipe combines both traditions in a playful and tasty way.
