Ingredients
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, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Assemble the Pizzas: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the naan breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. This will serve as your pizza base.
- Add the Tzatziki Sauce: Spread about 2–3 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce evenly over each naan bread, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges. This tangy sauce acts as the flavorful base instead of traditional tomato sauce.
- Layer the Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tzatziki sauce. Then layer fresh spinach leaves, cooked chicken pieces, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and crumbled feta cheese across the pizzas to distribute flavors evenly.
- Bake the Pizzas: Place the baking sheet with assembled naan pizzas into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the mozzarella cheese has melted and the edges of the naan are golden and slightly crisp.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or dill on top for added freshness and color. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the top for a bright and zesty finish.
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade tzatziki sauce depending on your preference.
- Ensure the chicken is pre-cooked to speed up the baking process.
- Adjust toppings according to taste or add other veggies like bell peppers or olives.
- For a crispier naan, pre-toast the naan for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
- Lemon juice enhances freshness and balances the richness of the cheese and chicken.
