Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 large naan breads (leftover or store-bought)

Chicken Tikka Masala Topping

  • 1 cup tikka masala sauce (leftover or store-bought)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ onion, thinly sliced

Cheese

  • ⅔ cup shredded mozzarella cheese or more as needed

Yogurt Drizzle

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 2–3 tablespoons water or as needed

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro leaves (coriander leaves)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the naan breads evenly spaced on a large baking tray to prepare for topping.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with curry powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced onion and tikka masala sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Evenly divide the chicken tikka masala mixture over each naan bread, spreading it out to cover the surface. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top to create a cheesy layer.
  4. Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the cheese has melted beautifully and the pizza is heated through.
  5. Prepare Yogurt Drizzle: While the pizzas bake, mix the plain yogurt with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Stir well to achieve a thin, drizzle-able consistency. Add more water if necessary.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and drizzle the yogurt sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately to enjoy the blend of creamy, tangy, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked chicken such as rotisserie or grilled chicken for convenience.
  • The curry powder is optional but adds extra depth to the chicken tikka flavor.
  • You can use store-bought tikka masala sauce or homemade for best flavor.
  • The yogurt drizzle helps balance the spice and adds creaminess.
  • Adjust the amount of cheese or toppings to your preference.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add vegetables like bell peppers or paneer.
