During the holidays, not everyone wants to deal with big Christmas meals, and many people definitely don’t want to cook much after Christmas. That’s why these Christmas coronation chickpea naan wraps make sense for an easy Christmas lunch or a simple Boxing Day meal. This quick recipe gives you something tasty and filling when everyone is tired and looking for effortless food.

The wraps take inspiration from coronation chicken, a classic British dish made with a creamy, curry-spiced dressing. Here, chickpeas replace the chicken, bringing plenty of plant-based protein and a hearty texture. You mix them with diced apple, cranberries, almonds, herbs, and spring onions, then coat everything in a spiced yogurt and mango chutney dressing. The result is sweet, tangy, and lightly spiced.

Assembling the wraps is simple. Warm the naan, add chutney and yogurt, layer in lettuce, cucumber, and red onion, then pile on the coronation chickpeas. Fresh herbs finish everything off. These wraps work well for relaxed family meals, quick lunches, or any moment when you want festive flavor without extra effort.

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the dressing- yogurt, mayonnaise, mango chutney, vinegar, spices, and lime pickle, if using. This will store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to a mixing bowl and mash them to your liking.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put these in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
When ready to prepare, warm the naan in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop, then set aside to cool slightly.
To build your wraps, brush some mango chutney onto each naan, then spread a spoonful of yogurt across. Add some lettuce, cucumber, and red onion, then top with a generous spoonful of Coronation Chickpeas. Garnish with fresh herbs, roll up your naan, and enjoy!
