Easy Chicken Tandoori Lettuce Wraps Recipe

These wraps feature tender, spiced chicken served in crunchy lettuce leaves, topped with fresh vegetables and a tangy yogurt sauce. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tandoori spice mix
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 head of romaine or butter lettuce, leaves separated
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup yogurt sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the yogurt, tandoori spice mix, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and place a few slices of the grilled chicken in the center. Top with diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
Serve: Drizzle with yogurt sauce if desired, then fold the lettuce leaf around the filling and enjoy!
