Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Pizza:

2 naan breads

1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)

1/2 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the naan breads on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Spread an even layer of tzatziki sauce over each naan, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Top with shredded chicken, spinach leaves, and halved cherry tomatoes.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Variations

Mediterranean Twist: Add sliced kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle hot honey for a spicy-sweet contrast.

Protein Swap: Use grilled shrimp or chickpeas instead of chicken for a different protein option.

Low-Carb Option: Swap naan for a low-carb tortilla or a cauliflower pizza crust.

Extra Crunch: Add thinly sliced red onions or cucumber after baking for extra freshness.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place the pizza in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or until warmed through. A toaster oven works great for keeping the naan crispy. I avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.

FAQs

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

Yes! I prepare the pizza and store it in the fridge unbaked. When ready to eat, I bake it as directed.

Can I use pita instead of naan?

Absolutely! Pita bread works just as well, though it may be slightly thinner and crispier.

What’s the best way to make homemade tzatziki?

I mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh dill for a quick homemade tzatziki.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! I use dairy-free tzatziki and shredded plant-based cheese to make it dairy-free.

What other veggies can I add?

I like adding bell peppers, red onions, cucumbers (after baking), or even arugula for extra greens.
