Prepare the Chicken
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until every piece is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes while you prep other ingredients, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, no longer pink in the center, and nicely browned on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Veggies & Naan
- While the chicken cooks or cools slightly, slice your cucumber and red onion, and dice your tomato. Have all your fresh ingredients ready for assembly.
- Lightly warm the naan bread. You can do this quickly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds per piece, or on the same skillet you cooked the chicken in for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a warmed naan flat. Spread a generous amount of hummus evenly over the surface. Layer about a quarter of the cooked chicken strips down the center, then top with sliced cucumber, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Carefully fold or roll the naan to create a wrap. You can fold one end over the filling and then roll it up, or simply fold it in half like a taco, depending on how full it is. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Make it your own: Feel free to add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a dollop of tzatziki for extra creaminess and flavor.
For meal prep: Cook the chicken and chop all your veggies ahead of time. Store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps fresh right before eating to prevent the naan from getting soggy.
Leftover cooked chicken works great: If you have leftover grilled or roasted chicken, shred or chop it and toss it with the spices and lemon juice for an even quicker assembly.
