Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

BBQ chicken topping
  • 4 naan breads
  • 1.5 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 ranch dressing for drizzling

Method
 

Make the BBQ chicken
  1. In a bowl, toss shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated and glossy.
Grill the naan pizzas
  1. Place the naan breads on the grill over medium heat and let them warm for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
  2. Top each naan with the BBQ chicken, mozzarella, and sliced red onion so the toppings are evenly distributed.
  3. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom looks crisp with grill marks.
Finish and serve
  1. Remove the grilled naan pizzas from the grill and immediately top with fresh chopped cilantro.
  2. Drizzle ranch dressing over the pizzas, then slice and serve right away while the cheese is still hot.

Notes

For extra crisp naan, keep the grill at a steady medium heat and wait to top until the flatbread is lightly toasted. Store leftover pizzas in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat on a skillet over medium heat for best texture (freezing not recommended). For a lower-fat option, use part-skim mozzarella and reduced-fat ranch.
