CHICKEN TIKKA WRAPS



This is a quick meal one can have as dinner ...this is a combo of chicken tikka,coriander paste in yogurt and sauted onions.i used whole wheat chapathi to wrap the chicken and yogurt sauce.

for wrapping :
u can use chapathi,tortillas or pita bread.

for making chicken tikka:

chicken breast
2 Tsp tikka masala powder
salt
1/2 tsp chilli powder
3 Tsp lemon juice
1 Tsp oil
3 green chillies made into paste

sauting onions:

heat a spoon of oil in a pan.add onions and salt.
saute till transperant .
keep them a side.







yogurt sauce:

blend all the ingredients under sauce .
this show be thick enough to spread on the chapathi.





marinate the chicken with all the ingredients under chicken tikka in the fridgerator for 15 min or 2 hrs.preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
bake it for 20 mintes or till done.
keep it under broil for only a minute.observe the chicken so that it doesn't catch fire.
let it cool and cut into bitesize pieces.
