Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
Vegetables and Base:
- 2 naan breads
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce
Toppings and Seasonings:
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 400°F and position a rack in the center for even heating.
- Grab a mixing bowl and combine 1 cup shredded chicken with ½ cup tzatziki sauce, creating a creamy base layer.
- Add 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1 cup diced cucumber, and ½ sliced red onion to your chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper into the bowl. Gently toss everything to distribute flavors.
- Place 2 naan breads on a clean baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Spread your chicken and vegetable mixture evenly across each naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil across the top of each pizza to enhance browning.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes to prevent burning your mouth.
- Scatter fresh chopped parsley over the top just before serving for a bright finishing touch.
Notes
- Chop vegetables finely to ensure even distribution and prevent large chunks from falling off the pizza.
- Use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor to the pizza.
- For a gluten-free version, swap naan bread with cauliflower crust or gluten-free pizza base.
- Keep tzatziki sauce cold and add it after baking to maintain its fresh, cool texture and prevent sogginess.
