Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 pieces naan bread
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare naan base: Place the naan breads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce evenly over each naan, leaving a small border around the edges to avoid spillage during baking.
- Add toppings: Distribute the shredded chicken breast evenly over the tzatziki layer, followed by sprinkling shredded mozzarella cheese. Scatter halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced kalamata olives on top for an added burst of flavor.
- Season and drizzle: Drizzle olive oil over the assembled toppings and sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste, enhancing the Mediterranean flavors.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese has melted thoroughly and the edges of the naan are golden and crisp.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately top each with diced cucumber and your choice of fresh herbs such as parsley or dill for freshness and a delightful contrast in texture and taste.
- Serve: Slice the naan pizzas into portions and serve warm for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
Notes
- Use either store-bought or homemade tzatziki sauce based on your preference and availability.
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut for preparing the shredded chicken quickly.
- For an extra crunch and freshness, consider topping the pizzas with a handful of arugula leaves or adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
