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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 help crisp the base during baking.
- Season Naan: In a small bowl, combine olive oil with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this seasoned oil mixture evenly over the naan bread to infuse flavor.
- Spread Tzatziki: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce over each naan piece, creating a cool, creamy base layer.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the grilled chicken slices, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese evenly on top of the tzatziki layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the naan is crisp and the toppings are warmed through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the naan pizzas from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for a delightful Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Notes
- Grill the chicken ahead of time or use store-bought grilled chicken for convenience.
- For added crispiness, you can broil the naan for the last 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize toppings by adding roasted red peppers or artichoke hearts for extra Mediterranean flair.
- Leftover naan pizzas can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated in the oven or air fryer.
