Ingredients
  

BBQ chicken naan pizza toppings
  • 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
  • Ranch dressing for drizzling

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the BBQ chicken
  1. Toss the cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  2. Keep the sauced chicken ready while you preheat the grill over medium heat.
Grill the naan pizzas
  1. Place the naan breads on the grill over medium heat.
  2. Top each naan with the BBQ chicken, mozzarella, and red onion.
  3. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, until the cheese melts and the bottom turns crispy.
  4. Remove the grilled naan pizzas from the grill.
  5. Top immediately with fresh cilantro.
  6. Drizzle with ranch dressing just before serving.
  7. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crisp naan, keep the grill at steady medium heat and avoid overloading toppings so the underside can brown. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat on a hot grill or skillet to re-crisp. Freezing isn’t recommended because naan texture softens after thawing. If you want a lighter option, use reduced-fat mozzarella and a lighter ranch (or yogurt-based ranch) drizzle.
