Ingredients
For the Pizza
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken tikka masala
- 4 large naan bread
- 1/3 cup red onions, sliced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450ºF (232ºC) and place a baking sheet inside to warm it up for the pizzas.
- Prepare the naan base: Place the naan bread on the baking sheet. If your chicken tikka masala sauce is thick, warm it slightly to make spreading easier, then evenly spread about 1/4 cup of the sauce over each piece of naan.
- Add chicken pieces: Distribute the pieces of chicken evenly across the naan, making sure each pizza gets enough protein for that signature tikka flavor.
- Layer the toppings: Add the sliced red onions on top of the chicken, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over everything to ensure a gooey, melted topping.
- Bake the pizzas: Place the baking sheet with assembled pizzas into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Bake until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown, and the naan edges are crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately top them with fresh cilantro leaves for a fragrant, fresh finish. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Warm the chicken tikka masala sauce before spreading if it’s too thick to ensure even coverage on the naan.
- You can substitute mozzarella with a blend of cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red chili flakes before baking.
- This recipe can be adapted for vegetarians by using paneer tikka or grilled vegetables instead of chicken.
