Instructions:

Marinate the Chicken:
Start by rinsing the chicken breasts thoroughly and cutting them into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces). In a mixing bowl, add the Recheado masala to the chicken pieces and coat them well. Let this marinate for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to deeply infuse into the chicken. -
Cook the Chicken:
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they turn a rich, dark brown. This caramelization adds depth to the dish. Once the onions are perfectly browned, add the marinated chicken. Stir the chicken well, ensuring the masala coats each piece evenly. Allow the chicken to cook on medium heat until it’s tender and fully cooked through. Do not add any water, as the chicken will release its own moisture during cooking. -
Add Freshness:
Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and remove the pan from the heat. The coriander adds a fresh, aromatic flavor that perfectly balances the richness of the Recheado masala. -
Prepare the Naan Wraps:
Take the naan (or tawa parathas) and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the Recheado chicken mixture into the center of each naan. Top it with some freshly sliced onions for an added crunch and a burst of flavor. -
Wrap and Serve:
Carefully fold the naan around the chicken mixture, creating a wrap. You can cut the wrap into smaller portions for easy handling, or serve it as a whole. These wraps are best enjoyed when served hot!
Serving Suggestions:
These Recheado Chicken Naan Wraps make for a fantastic tea-time snack. Pair them with a warm cup of Masala Chai and a sweet treat like Linzer Cookies for the perfect balance of flavors. They’re also perfect for lunchboxes, making them a great choice for both you and your kids.
Pro Tip:
