Tikka Chicken Naan Pizzas

Crisp naan, spiced chicken and bubbling mozzarella turn pizza night into a playful curry-house-inspired supper.

⏱️ Prep, Cook & Serve

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 18–20 minutes | Serves: 4

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 large naan breads or 4 small naan breads
• 300g boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
• 1½ tbsp Tikka Masala spice blend
• 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 120g passata
• 150g grated mozzarella
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• Fresh coriander and cucumber yoghurt, to serve

🔪 Method

1. Heat the oven to 210°C fan and place a baking tray inside to heat.
2. Mix the chicken with the yoghurt, lemon juice and 1 tbsp spice blend.
3. Fry the chicken in a lightly oiled pan for 7–8 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
4. Mix the passata with the remaining spice blend. Spread over the naan, then top with mozzarella, chicken and red onion.
5. Transfer to the hot tray and bake for 8–10 minutes until crisp and bubbling. Finish with coriander and cucumber yoghurt.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a crisp salad or crunchy slaw.
• Cut small naan into wedges for sharing.

💛 Why It Works

Naan makes an instant chewy pizza base, while the spiced tomato sauce links the topping to the tikka chicken.

🍳 Cook’s Tip

Cook the chicken before assembling so the naan stays crisp and every piece is safely cooked.
