Ingredients
Naan Pizza Base
- 2 pieces of naan bread
Protein
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Naan Base: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the naan bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Assemble the Pizza: Evenly spread the cooked chicken breast over each naan piece. Distribute the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers, and olives over the chicken. Spoon dollops of tzatziki sauce on top or spread it gently to cover the toppings.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled naan pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the naan is heated through and slightly crispy at the edges. The toppings should be warm but preserve their fresh texture.
- Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Slice and serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- You can use store-bought cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- Make sure not to overload the naan with toppings to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Tzatziki sauce adds a cooling effect and should be added after baking for best freshness, but adding a small amount before baking also works.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
