The chicken is marinated in yoghurt and tikka paste so it stays lovely and juicy, then wrapped up with spinach, diced cucumber, red onion, tomato, and a creamy mango chutney yoghurt that brings it all together.
It's packed with flavour, takes less than 15 minutes to make, and you can batch cook the chicken ahead, like you can in this chicken fajita wrap, to make it even quicker.
Chicken wraps are always a hit in our house - these chicken katsu wraps, crispy chilli chicken wraps & cheesy BBQ chicken ones are also go-tos that always get big smiles from the kids!

🥘 Ingredients You Will Need & Notes
Here's a quick photo showing you everything you'll need to make these chicken tikka wraps. I've also added a few notes to highlight any extra info or tips for certain ingredients. To find out how to make them allergy-friendly, simply scroll down to the next section.

✋ Double check all packaging for allergens ✋
- Chicken: - I've just chopped chicken breast into bite-sized chunks, but chopped chicken thighs will also work well.
- Natural Yoghurt: This is used in the marinade to keep the chicken juicy & also to make the yoghurt dressing. You can also use Greek yoghurt like I have in this buffalo chicken wrap.
- Tikka Paste: Tikka paste is mild, so this is a great recipe for the kids. Add some chilli flakes to the paste if you want to spice things up a little.
- Tomato, Cucumber & Red Onion: Dice these all into small squares and mix together before adding to the wrap.
- Mango chutney: This is mixed with a little yoghurt to make the dressing. You can use mild or spicy mango chutney.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
🤔 Can I Use Shop-Bought Cooked Chicken?
Yes, you can - just warm it up a little with some tikka paste & yoghurt in a pan to add flavour.
🥜 How Can I Make This Dish Allergy-Friendly?
✔️ Make It Gluten-Free: Just swap the wraps for gluten-free ones and double-check the tikka paste and mango chutney - some brands sneak in gluten.
✔️ Make It Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free yoghurt for both the marinade and the mango dressing - coconut or soya yoghurt both work well.
✏️ How to Make Chicken Tikka Wraps
⬇️ Here you will find an overview of how to make the recipe. For full information on ingredients and quantities please see the recipe card at the bottom of the page ⬇️
Step 1:
Chop the chicken into bite-sized chunks and place it into a mixing bowl. Add the yoghurt and tikka paste, give it a good stir so everything's coated, and if you've got time, leave it to marinate - 30 minutes is great, or even overnight if you can. (PHOTO 1)
Step 2:
Cook the chicken in the air fryer at 200˚C for 7-9 minutes, giving it a shake halfway through. Or stick it under the grill for 5-7 minutes on each side. Just make sure it's cooked through and starting to catch a bit of colour. (PHOTO 2)
Step 3:
While the chicken's cooking, mix together a spoonful of mango chutney with a tablespoon of natural yoghurt - that's your dressing sorted. Then dice up your tomato, red onion and cucumber into small chunks. (PHOTOS 3 & 4)

Step 4:
Lay your wraps out and spread a bit of the mango chutney yoghurt over the base. Add a handful of spinach, then pile on the chopped veg and the cooked chicken. (PHOTOS 5, 6 & 7)
Step 5:
Drizzle over the rest of the mango chutney yoghurt. (PHOTO 8)
Step 6:
Fold the sides of the wrap in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom - kind of like wrapping a present - so nothing falls out. Slice in half and tuck in! (PHOTOS 9-12)

💡 Lauren's Top Tips
🌟 Marinate Ahead: If you can, marinate the chicken the night before for even better flavour!
🌟 Warm The Wrap: Pop your wrap in the microwave for 10 seconds or heat it in a pan before assembling. This makes it more flexible and less likely to tear.
🌟 Garnish: Add a sprinkle of fresh coriander or mint just before serving for extra flavour!
🔨 The Meal Planning Toolbox
🗒️Make Ahead
You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance and keep it in the fridge - it's actually better this way!
🗒️ Batch Cooking
Cook double the chicken and make extra mango chutney yoghurt & chopped tomato, red onion and cucumber. Everything will keep in the fridge for a few days, so you've got lunch sorted for tomorrow too.
🗒️ Leftovers & Storage
Cooked chicken will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the chopped veg and mango dressing separately so everything stays fresh.
🗒️Freezing
You can freeze the cooked chicken once it's cooled - just wrap it up well and it'll keep for up to 3 months.
Defrost in the fridge overnight, then either eat it cold or reheat it in the microwave or air fryer until it's piping hot. Just a heads-up - the texture might be a bit drier once it's been reheated.

The BEST Chicken Tikka Wrap
Equipment
- Air Fryer optional
Ingredients
- 1 tortilla wrap
Chicken & Marinade
- 1 medium chicken breast
- 25 g (1 oz) tikka curry paste
- 2 tablespoon Greek yoghurt
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon mango chutney
- 1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt
Salad
- 25 g (1oz) cucumber
- ¼ small red onion
- 10 g (½ oz) spinach
- 3 small cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Chop the chicken into chunks and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the yoghurt and tikka paste, give it a good stir and if you have time, leave to marinate - ideally for at least 30 minutes (or overnight if you're prepping ahead).
- Cook the chicken in the air fryer at 200˚C for 7-9 minutes, giving it a shake halfway through. Or pop it under the grill for 5-7 minutes on each side. Just make sure the chicken is cooked through and nicely golden.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix a spoonful of mango chutney with 1tbsp natural yoghurt to make your dressing. Finely dice the tomato, red onion & cucumber.
- Lay out your wraps, spread the dressing over the wrap, add a handful of spinach, spoon over the chopped onion, tomato & cucumber, then top with the diced chicken.
- Drizzle the rest of the mango chutney yoghurt over the chicken.
- Fold the sides of the wrap in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom - a bit like wrapping a present - so everything stays tucked in. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use lettuce instead of spinach if that's what you've got
- Fancy a kick? Stir a little chilli sauce into the mango yoghurt
- Swap the wrap for a pitta or flatbread
