Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces of naan bread
- 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
For the Olive Oil Mixture
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the naan pizza.
- Prepare Naan Bread: Place the naan bread pieces on a baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil to help crisp the bread and add flavor.
- Make Olive Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the naan bread for added aroma and seasoning.
- Spread Tzatziki Sauce: Evenly spread approximately 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce over each naan piece. The sauce provides a creamy and tangy base.
- Add Toppings: Layer the grilled sliced chicken, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese over the tzatziki spread on each naan.
- Bake: Bake the assembled naan pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the naan is crispy and the toppings are heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for brightness and serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly grilled chicken for best flavor and texture.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the chicken and add more vegetables or plant-based protein.
- You can prepare the tzatziki sauce ahead of time to save time.
- Brush the naan lightly to avoid sogginess but ensure crispiness.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture.
