Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 naan breads
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh parsley or dill (for garnish)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up, ensuring it is hot when you place the naan bread on it for a crispy base.
- Prepare naan bread: Brush each naan bread lightly with olive oil to help it crisp while baking, then place the naan on the preheated baking sheet for even cooking.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges for a nice crust.
- First bake: Bake the naan in the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and the naan turns slightly golden, providing a perfect cheesy layer.
- Add toppings: Layer cooked shredded chicken, thinly sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the melted mozzarella on each naan.
- Second bake: Return the naan pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, allowing the toppings to warm through and the flavors to meld.
- Finish with tzatziki & garnishes: Once out of the oven, drizzle each pizza generously with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, fresh spinach leaves, and fresh parsley or dill for a burst of freshness.
- Serve: Slice the naan pizzas and serve immediately to enjoy the melty cheese, savory chicken, and cool tzatziki contrast.
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade tzatziki sauce depending on preference and time.
- For extra crispiness, broil the naan for 1–2 minutes after baking but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Substitute chicken with lamb or beef for a different protein profile.
- Adding sliced cucumbers on top together with tzatziki enhances freshness and texture.
- Leftover naan pizzas reheat well in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
