How To Make Slow Cooker Tandoori Chicken Wraps
- Make the tandoori rub: In a bowl, mix together all the tandoori rub ingredients. Set aside 2 tablespoons for this recipe and store the rest in an airtight container.
- Prepare the chicken: Arrange the sliced onions to cover the bottom of the slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the tandoori rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then coat the chicken breasts with the mixture. Place the chicken on top of the onions. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
- Prepare the veggies and yoghurt: While the chicken cooks, shred the lettuce, finely chop the cucumber, and rinse and chop the mint. Mix the chopped mint with the Greek yoghurt and refrigerate along with the other ingredients.
- Slice the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice it.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the sliced chicken between the naan breads, spoon some of the mint yoghurt over the chicken, scatter with lettuce and cucumber, and roll the wraps up.
Recipe Tips
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices will give the tandoori rub a stronger and more vibrant flavor. Avoid using old, pre-ground spices for the best taste.
- Don’t skip the resting time for the chicken: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes after cooking to ensure it stays juicy and tender when you slice it.
- Customize the wrap: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like tomatoes, red onions, or even avocado to make the wrap more flavorful and filling.
- Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a milder wrap, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the rub or swap it with paprika.
- Warm the naan: Lightly heat the naan breads before assembling the wraps to make them soft and pliable, making it easier to roll up the filling.
