Jazz up your lunch routine with these Chicken Hummus Naan Wraps - a tasty mix of Mediterranean tastes and grab-and-go ease. After trying tons of different combos, I've found the real trick is how you stack your ingredients and balance the smooth, crispy, and zingy parts.
Just weeks ago, I brought these to a small work get-together, and they vanished right away. The trick? Using hummus that isn't cold from the fridge so it spreads easily and warming the naan just right so it bends without getting hard.
Key Ingredients and Their Purpose
- Naan bread: Gives you a soft, sturdy foundation that won't fall apart
- Hummus: Works double duty as a spread and protein boost
- Rotisserie chicken: Saves time without losing any taste
- Fresh vegetables: Bring that nice snap and color
- Vinaigrette: Pulls everything together with its bright tang

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- How To Put It All Together
- Warm your naan slightly to make it bendy. Spread hummus right to the edges so every bite has some. Add chicken while it's still a bit warm. Stack veggies from firmest to softest.
- Getting Your Dressing Just Right
- Mix it really well so everything blends. Taste as you add salt and pepper. Put honey in at the end to cut the sourness. Make more than you need for later.
- Rolling It Up Like A Pro
- Don't stuff too much inside - keep it simple. Fold in the sides firmly. Roll it up tight so it stays closed. Wrap in paper for a clean look.

After lots of practice, I've learned that letting your wrapped naan sit for about 5 minutes helps all the flavors mix together while keeping all the different textures.
These wraps hit that sweet spot between quick-and-easy and super tasty. The way the smooth hummus works with the soft chicken while crisp veggies add crunch makes for a filling meal that's good for you and yummy too.
