The Recipe: Grilled Naan Chicken Salad Wraps with Cherry Salsa
Tips and what you need: if grilling naan indoors you will need a grill pan. To save time use a cherry pitter to pit cherries. If you prefer to use a knife, cut around the circumference of the cherry, twist the two sides in opposite directions, use fingers to remove pit.
A quick and easy meal that is warm, delicious and satisfying! Please see "tips" above in blog post for advice on pitting cherries.
- 1 cup cherries pitted and quartered
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1-2 teaspoons or more or less finely minced jalapeno, basically use as much or as little as works with your level of heat tolerance
- 1 Tablespoon Cilantro chopped
- 2 Tablespoons roasted salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- juice of half a lime
- sea salt to taste
- 2 cups warm shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups fresh lettuce I used baby greens
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta or soft goat cheese
- 4 pieces naan bread grilled
- If using an outdoor grill, preheat to 400 degrees with lid closed
- Pit and dice cherries, toss with minced jalapenos, onions, lime juice, sea salt, pepitas and 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, reserving the rest for garnish. Set aside
- Shred warm chicken by hand
- If using a grill pan heat on cooktop. Add naan to pan or outdoor grill and cook each side until grill marks are established and bread is hot (1-2 minutes)
- Add lettuce to each piece of naan, add shredded chicken, feta and salsa, sprinkle with remaining cilanto
- Serve

naan is such a great alternative to other sandwich breads! That cherry salsa looks delicious – I have a basket sitting in the fridge, and I need to check this out!
I love naan too! So perfect for easy summer meals.
I literally just had a veggie naan wrap for the first time and thought it was such a good idea to use naan that way! Now tacos??!! I can’t wait to try this – it sounds amazing and is just beautiful too!
I’m with you! The less cooking in the summer the better. WE use our grill almost every day and grilling the naan sounds like the perfect touch to this easy dinner. And that salsa! Oh, I think I’m drooling just thinking about it. I’ve got some cherries in the fridge and an extra jalapeno lying around so I know what I’m having for dinner tonight. Yum!
Thanks so much Linda!
I have never liked chicken salad until I saw these additions in it I love this cherry salsa, it really sounds wonderful and worth a try for me again. Thanks for making it so gourmet and not ordinary!
I’ve wished I would have found your gorgeous recipe in June when I didn’t know what to cook with all those cherries around me. But at least I’ll pin it for next year:)
Hi Gabi! We have cherries galore here in CA! I am sad I missed your season 🙁
I love the idea of cherry salsa! And that naan bread looks sooooo delicious.
Thanks Raia!
Just reading the name of this recipe makes my mouth water! What a delightful combination! This is an impressive one!
