Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 2 large naan breads
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) tzatziki sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Protein and Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 grams) cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
Vegetables and Garnishes:
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) fresh spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C), ensuring a perfectly heated cooking environment for crispy naan pizzas.
- Arrange naan breads on a baking sheet, generously spreading tzatziki sauce across each piece, leaving a small untouched border for a neat presentation.
- Distribute cooked chicken uniformly over the tzatziki base, creating an even protein layer.
- Strategically place red onion slices, halved cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese across the naan surfaces.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Transfer the prepared naan pizzas into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until naan edges turn golden and crisp.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, gently scatter fresh spinach leaves across the hot surface, allowing residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
- Finish by garnishing with finely chopped fresh dill or parsley, adding a vibrant herbaceous touch.
- Slice and serve immediately while the naan pizza remains hot and crisp.
Notes
- Customize naan thickness by briefly toasting store-bought naan before adding toppings for extra crispiness.
- Swap chicken with plant-based protein like grilled tofu or chickpeas for vegetarian version.
- Use Greek yogurt-based tzatziki as a lighter, protein-rich sauce alternative to traditional pizza sauce.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to reduce cooking time and create a quick weeknight meal option.
