For the chicken marinade:
- 200g boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced or shredded
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or low-fat yogurt)
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala or black pepper
- Salt to taste

For the wrap:
- Whole wheat or multigrain tortilla wraps or chapatis

Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl, mix yogurt, coriander, mint, ginger-garlic paste, green chili, cumin powder, chaat masala, salt, and lemon juice.
Add chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor). - Cook the chicken:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken until cooked through and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside. - Prepare the wrap:
Warm the tortilla or chapati slightly to make it pliable.
Spread a spoonful of green chutney or light yogurt sauce on it. - Assemble:
Layer the mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, onion, and avocado slices on the wrap.
Add the cooked chicken on top. - Roll and serve:
Roll the wrap tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
