Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
⅔ cup sour cream
¼ cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons powdered Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
crushed black pepper to taste
4 garlic naan breads
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese, or to taste
½ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®)
⅓ cup melted butter
1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Season chicken with Cajun seasoning.
Grill chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink inside and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. Remove from grill, leaving grill on. Let chicken rest for 3 to 4 minutes, then cut into small pieces and set aside.
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, garlic, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread white sauce evenly onto naan, then layer chicken and feta cheese on top. Refrigerate any leftover white sauce.
Combine Buffalo sauce, melted butter, tomato paste, smoked paprika, and nutmeg in a bowl. Drizzle Buffalo sauce on top of naan pizzas.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Heat pizzas on the hot grill until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
Transfer pizzas to the preheated broiler and finish cooking until golden brown on top, about 1 minute more.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the yogurt and spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have a tandoor oven, you can cook the chicken in a regular oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
To make the butter chicken sauce, use a blender or food processor to puree the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Then, heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and add the pureed mixture. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
To make the naan pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out the naan dough into a 12-inch circle. Spread the butter chicken sauce over the naan dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and cilantro. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To make the lime peanut slaw, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and peanut butter in a small bowl. Toss the cabbage, carrots, and cilantro in the dressing. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This Indian butter chicken naan pizza with lime peanut slaw is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The butter chicken sauce is rich and flavorful, the naan pizza is crispy and chewy, and the lime peanut slaw is refreshing and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
