Ingredients
Scale
Base and Sauce
- 2 pieces of naan bread
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Main Toppings
- 1 lb chicken breast, grilled and sliced
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the naan and warm the toppings properly.
- Prepare Naan Bread: Place the naan bread pieces on a baking sheet. Lightly brush each piece with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Season Olive Oil: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this flavorful mixture evenly over the oiled naan bread.
- Apply Tzatziki Sauce: Spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce evenly over each naan piece, creating a creamy and tangy base layer for the toppings.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the grilled chicken slices, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese evenly over each naan.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the naan turns crispy and the toppings are warmed through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can grill the chicken breast in advance or use leftover grilled chicken to save time.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more veggies like roasted red peppers or artichoke hearts.
- Use store-bought tzatziki sauce or make your own for a fresher taste.
- Be careful not to overbake, as naan can become too hard if left too long in the oven.
