Indian Naan Pizzas
We all need a dinner that takes minutes to get on the table and our family actually likes. This dinner is epic, pizza which is always a crowd pleaser but with the warm and delicious flavors of India. I make these on nights with some sport practice (we now have 4 days a week with sports) and need it quick because people are HUNGRY. I prep the chicken ahead of time so I just top these pizzas and get them into the oven as quickly as possible. These are so easy to adapt for your family too, below are suggestions for different ways to make them best work for you.
Vegan, use chickpeas roasted with the Indian Spice MIx and a plant-based cheese.
Gluten free - use a GF Naan or flatbread, pita is a great alternative
Dairy free - use a plant-based cheese
low carb - low carb crust is the only thing you need!
I also like this recipe because it used a spice mix and a jar of simmering sauce to bring the flavor with minimal effort. I hope you like these as much as my family did! If you are having a party, these are also an amazing appetizer, just make them into little slices and your guests will thank you!
Indian Naan Pizzas
2 chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons Indian Spice Mix
4 Naan breads
1/2 cup Masala sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella and provolone mix
1 bell pepper, diced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
Toppings - coconut yogurt and cilantro
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the spice mix and rub in completely, place in a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165, Let rest for 15 minutes and then chop into chunks.
- Lay out your Naan on a couple baking sheets. spread some Masala sauce like pizza sauce, leaving an edge all around. Sprinkle the cheese evenly, then scatter the chicken, peppers, and onions over the top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted., remove from oven and sprinkle with cilantro and drizzle with yogurt.
Only a few ingredients for a dinner the whole family loves. You can totally switch it up for what you like too! The spice mix is so good on the chicken… and your house will smell amazing.
I like to prep all the other things while the chicken cooks, that way you aren’t wasting time.
Just look at that chicken, with all those spices baked in, you can use any extras as a salad topper, sooooo good.
I love the Masala Simmer Sauce from Trader Joe’s but use whatever you have or like.
Spread it all around, you can see the little chunks in this picture that make it packed with flavor.
Now get that cheese on there, you can use plant-based cheese too if you are vegan or dairy free.
Toppings on and you are ready for the oven, only a few minutes and you are done!
