Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 naan breads
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizzas evenly and to get a crispy naan base.
  2. Prepare Naan: Place the naan breads on a baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up and add flavor.
  3. Spread Tzatziki Sauce: Evenly spread ½ cup of tzatziki sauce on each naan bread, creating a creamy, tangy base for the toppings.
  4. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Layer the shredded chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion evenly over the tzatziki-covered naan.
  5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the toppings to add a salty, creamy element.
  6. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste over each pizza for added Mediterranean flavor.
  7. Bake the Pizza: Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the naan is crispy and the toppings are warmed through.
  8. Drizzle Extra Tzatziki: After removing the pizzas from the oven, drizzle extra tzatziki sauce on top for added creaminess and flavor.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and slice the pizza before serving to enjoy a refreshing and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken with cooked lamb or beef for a different protein option.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Make sure to use fresh tzatziki sauce for the best flavor; homemade or store-bought both work well.
  • If naan is unavailable, pita bread or flatbread can be used as an alternative base.
  • Optional: Add olives or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra Mediterranean touch.
