Jazz up your midday meal with these Chicken Hummus Naan Wraps - they blend Middle Eastern flavors with grab-and-go ease. After trying tons of different combos, I've figured out the magic comes from how you stack things and balance the smooth, crisp, and zingy parts.
When I brought these to work a few weeks back, they vanished in seconds. The trick? Let your hummus sit out a bit so it spreads easily, and warm your naan just enough to make it bendy without getting crunchy.
Key Components and Their Purpose
- Naan bread: Gives you a soft but sturdy base that doesn't fall apart
- Hummus: Does two jobs as your spread and protein source
- Rotisserie chicken: Saves time but still tastes homemade
- Fresh vegetables: Add snap and color to each bite
- Vinaigrette: Pulls everything together with a tangy kick

Step-by-Step Preparation Guide
- Smart Assembly Approach
- Give naan a quick warm-up for better folding. Spread hummus all the way to the edges. Add chicken while it's still a bit warm. Stack veggies from hardest to softest.
- Getting the Dressing Right
- Mix it super well so everything blends. Add salt bit by bit, tasting as you go. Put honey in at the end to cut the sourness. Make more than you need for later.
- How to Wrap Like a Pro
- Don't stuff too much inside - keep it simple. Fold in the sides firmly. Roll it up tight so it stays together. Use parchment paper to keep it neat.

Through lots of testing, I found that waiting 5 minutes after making your wrap helps all the tastes come together nicely while keeping everything's texture just right.
These wraps hit that sweet spot between quick-to-make and fresh-tasting. The way the smooth hummus works with the juicy chicken while the crisp veggies add crunch makes for a filling meal that's good for you and tastes amazing too.
Prepping Ahead for Busy Days
Make your week easier with these wraps:
Chop lots of veggies and keep them in sealed containers
Mix up extra dressing and store it on its own
Pull apart chicken ahead of time
Keep hummus ready in serving sizes
Fixing Common Problems
After making these wraps countless times, here's what I've learned:
If the naan breaks: Just warm it slightly, not too hot
If everything seems too dry: Add more hummus or some extra dressing
If stuff keeps falling out: Put in less filling and roll it tighter
If your veggies make it soggy: Make sure to dry them really well
Changing With The Seasons
This basic wrap works great year-round:
Spring: Toss in some tender pea shoots and sliced radishes
Summer: Mix in juicy tomatoes and fresh herb leaves
Fall: Add some sweet roasted squash chunks
Winter: Throw in pickled veggies for a bright pop
