Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure juicy chicken, always let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. If you want to enhance the savory depth of the salad, consider adding crumbled bacon or anchovies for extra umami flavor.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegetarian version, swap the grilled chicken for halloumi or seasoned chickpeas. You can also increase the fiber content by using whole wheat naan flatbreads instead of traditional white garlic naan.
Serviervorschläge
Serve these wraps while they are fresh and warm. For a complete dining experience, pair them with a chilled glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light lager to complement the tangy Caesar dressing.

Questions & Answers
- → Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Prepare components separately up to a day in advance—grill the chicken, wash and chop lettuce, and warm naan just before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- → What's the best way to warm naan?
Brush lightly with melted butter and grill for 1-2 minutes per side until soft and slightly charred, or warm in a dry skillet over medium heat.
- → Can I use rotisserie chicken instead?
Absolutely—shred store-bought rotisserie chicken and season with garlic powder and smoked paprika for a quick 15-minute version.
- → How do I prevent the wrap from falling apart?
Fold in the sides tightly after filling, then roll from bottom to top, keeping everything snug. Let the filled wrap rest seam-side down for a minute before slicing.
- → What substitutions work for vegetarians?
Replace chicken with grilled halloumi slices, roasted chickpeas, or portobello mushrooms marinated in the same spice blend.
