Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 pieces of naan bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 lb chicken breast, grilled and sliced
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the naan pizzas.
- Prepare Naan Base: Place the naan breads on a baking sheet and brush each lightly with olive oil to create a golden, crispy crust during baking.
- Season Naan: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this flavorful mixture evenly over the oiled naan breads for added taste.
- Apply Tzatziki Sauce: Spread 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce evenly over each naan piece, creating a creamy and tangy base layer for the toppings.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute grilled chicken slices, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese over the tzatziki-coated naan.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled naan pizzas in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are crispy and the toppings are warmed through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor, then serve warm.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly grilled chicken breast; leftover grilled chicken works well too.
- You can substitute regular naan with whole wheat naan for a healthier twist.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the naan alone for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of tzatziki sauce based on your preference for creaminess and flavor.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
