Ingredients for Chicken Paratha Rolls
Chicken: Use breast fillets or thigh fillets, cut into small bite-sized pieces for quick cooking and easy rolling.
Parathas: Store-bought parathas work great and are widely available at Indian grocery stores. In Australia, Coles and Woolworths also stock them. You can choose between plain or wholemeal parathas.
Yogurt: Plain yogurt, preferably Greek yoghurt, forms the base of the marinade and helps tenderize the chicken.
Spices: Red chili powder, turmeric, cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and black pepper powder add authentic Pakistani flavor.
Lemon Juice & Garlic Paste: For freshness and a hint of zing in the marinade.
Toppings: Sliced onions and fresh coriander (cilantro), paired with your favorite sauces—garlic mayo and homemade mint chutney are my favorites for an extra burst of flavor.
How to Make Chicken Paratha Rolls
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Marinate bite-sized boneless chicken pieces in yogurt, garlic paste, lemon juice, and spices. For the best flavor, marinate for a few hours, but if you’re short on time, 30 minutes will still work.
2. Cook the Chicken:
Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s tender and fully cooked through.
3. Cook the Parathas:
Prepare the parathas according to the package instructions until they are golden and flaky.
4. Assemble the Rolls:
Place some cooked chicken on a warm paratha. Drizzle with garlic mayo and mint chutney, add thinly sliced onions and fresh coriander (cilantro). Roll it up tightly and enjoy while warm.

Making Chicken Paratha Rolls Ahead
You can easily make Chicken Paratha Rolls ahead of time by prepping the marinated chicken in advance, along with the mint raita and sliced onions. When you’re ready to serve, simply warm the parathas and assemble the rolls for a fresh and flavorful meal.
For best results, enjoy these paratha rolls while the parathas are still warm and flaky. Avoid assembling them more than a couple of hours ahead, as the parathas may become soggy if left too long.
Serving Suggestion for Chicken Paratha Rolls
Chicken Paratha Rolls are perfect for hosting, especially during high teas or Ramadan gatherings. To serve, wrap each paratha roll individually in butter paper or baking paper. This helps keep them moist and makes it easier for guests to hold and enjoy.
For bite-sized snacks, you can also cut the rolls in half—ideal for parties or sharing.
