Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast (cubed or thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) crumbled feta cheese
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 cup (150 grams) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) cucumber slices
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) sliced red onion
- Fresh dill or parsley
- Lemon wedges
Base and Seasonings:
- 4 pieces naan bread
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) tzatziki sauce
- 1/2 cup (56 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet warmed to medium heat, drizzle olive oil and add chicken pieces seasoned with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sauté chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring periodically, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked through, then transfer to a separate plate.
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position naan bread on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Generously spread tzatziki sauce across each naan, maintaining a small perimeter around the edges.
- Optional: Scatter a delicate layer of mozzarella cheese atop the tzatziki sauce.
- Artfully distribute cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumber, and diced red onion evenly over naan surfaces.
- Crumble feta cheese liberally across the prepared naan pizzas.
- Slide pizzas into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until naan edges turn golden and toppings become thoroughly heated.
- If using mozzarella, continue baking until cheese melts and develops a bubbly texture.
- Extract pizzas from oven and garnish with freshly chopped dill or parsley.
- Accompany with lemon wedges to enhance flavor complexity and provide a zesty finishing touch.
Notes
- Select high-quality naan bread for a crispy base that enhances the overall texture and flavor of the pizza.
- Marinate chicken beforehand in yogurt and herbs to make it more tender and infuse deeper Mediterranean flavors.
- Drain cucumber and tomatoes on paper towels to prevent soggy pizza crust and maintain a crisp texture.
- Customize this recipe easily for vegetarian diets by replacing chicken with grilled halloumi or roasted chickpeas for protein.
