Transform your lunch routine with these vibrant and flavorful Low Carb Chicken Tikka Wraps, a health-conscious twist on a classic Indian favorite. Juicy chicken breast is marinated in a zesty blend of Greek yogurt, spices, and fresh aromatics, then pan-seared to tender perfection. Wrapped in crisp butter lettuce leaves instead of traditional flatbreads, this recipe is perfect for those following a low-carb, keto, or gluten-free diet. Topped with crisp cucumber, sweet red onion, and fresh coriander, these wraps deliver a refreshing crunch and bold, spicy-tangy flavors in every bite. Quick to prepare and packed with protein, they make a light yet satisfying meal that's excellent for lunch, dinner, or busy weekdays.
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala, paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan, arranging them in a single layer.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the wrap, take a large butter lettuce leaf and place a few slices of red onion and cucumber in the center.
Add a few pieces of cooked chicken onto the lettuce and top with fresh coriander.
Roll the lettuce wrap tightly around the filling and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
Enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Tikka Wraps as a light, flavorful meal!
