Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the BBQ chicken
  1. Toss the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  2. Let the sauced chicken rest briefly while you prepare the grill and toppings for faster assembly.
Grill the naan pizzas
  1. Place the naan breads on the grill over medium heat.
  2. Top each naan with BBQ chicken, mozzarella cheese, and thinly sliced red onion.
  3. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom is crispy.
Finish and serve
  1. Remove the grilled naan pizzas from the grill.
  2. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  3. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For the crispiest bottom, keep the grill at a steady medium heat and avoid overloading toppings with extra sauce. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat on a hot grill or in a skillet to re-crisp. Freezing isn’t recommended because naan texture changes. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat mozzarella and a lighter ranch or Greek-yogurt ranch drizzle.
