Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
3 tablespoons jarred tandoori paste or marinade
1 pound thin skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 English cucumber, grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 pieces naan bread
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro and/or mint, roughly chopped, plus more for topping
Juice of 1/4 lemon
4 ounces paneer, halloumi or feta cheese, cut into small pieces
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Combine 1/4 cup yogurt with the tandoori paste in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Set aside for 10 minutes. Toss the grated cucumber with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a colander; set aside to drain.
  • Butter the naan on one side and sprinkle with the garam masala. Place on one of the baking sheets and broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Arrange the chicken on the other baking sheet and broil until cooked through and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then chop.
  • While the chicken cooks, squeeze the cucumber with your hands to remove the excess moisture. Mix the cucumber with the herbs, lemon juice, remaining 3/4 cup yogurt and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper.
  • Scatter the chicken, cheese and red onion evenly over the naan. Broil until lightly browned and the cheese softens, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the cucumber yogurt over the pizzas. Top with more herbs.

TANDOORI CHICKEN PIZZA



Tandoori Chicken Pizza image

From the California Pizza Kitchen Cookbook. This is a very interesting, non-traditional pizza. I made it very spicy by using more jalapeno than called for. Next time, I may briefly saute the zucchini before putting it on the pizza. The chutney is optional, but it is a nice addition.

  • For a crispy crust, bake the pizza on a pizza stone or baking sheet preheated to a high temperature.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you're using a tandoori chicken marinade, be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the pizza hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
