Bursting with bold, aromatic spices and fresh, vibrant ingredients, the Whole30 Chicken Tikka Wrap is a flavorful and health-conscious twist on traditional Indian cuisine. Tender strips of chicken breast are marinated in a rich blend of coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and ginger, then grilled to perfection for a smoky char. Wrapped in crisp romaine lettuce leaves rather than traditional naan or flatbread, these wraps are both gluten-free and Whole30-friendly, making them ideal for clean eating. A refreshing cucumber salad infused with lime juice, fresh dill, and olive oil adds a zesty crunch, while thin slices of red onion and fragrant mint leaves complete this satisfying, low-carb dish. Ready in just 35 minutes, these wraps are perfect for lunch or dinner and deliver a medley of savory, tangy, and refreshing flavors that are sure to become a weeknight favorite.
In a bowl, mix together coconut milk, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, garlic powder, ginger paste, salt, and black pepper.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and marinate them in the coconut milk mixture for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, finely chop the cucumber and mix it with lime juice, fresh dill, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a simple cucumber salad.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken strips from the marinade, shaking off excess, and place them in the pan. Grill until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they have a nice char.
Separate the romaine lettuce leaves carefully, wash, and pat them dry. These will serve as your wraps.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the mint leaves.
To assemble the wraps, lay the lettuce leaves flat and fill each with a few strips of grilled chicken.
Top with a spoonful of the cucumber salad, add a few slices of red onion, and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves.
Gently roll or fold the lettuce to enclose the filling, creating wraps.
Serve immediately for optimal freshness and enjoy the savory, refreshing flavors of Whole30 Chicken Tikka Wraps.
