Chicken Tzatziki and Veggie Naan Pizza
This Chicken Tzatziki and Veggie Naan Pizza is everything you want in a quick weeknight dinner: fast, fresh, and loaded with flavor. Think creamy tzatziki in place of pizza sauce, shredded chicken, crisp veggies, and toasty naan as the crust. It’s Mediterranean-meets-pizza-night in the best way—and it comes together in just 20 minutes.
Why I Love This Recipe
It’s healthy, customizable, and meal-prep friendly. Using naan as a base is a great shortcut for pizza without dough-making, and the cool tzatziki paired with warm chicken and roasted veggies hits every note. This is the kind of light but satisfying dish that’s perfect for lunch or a casual dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 large naan breads
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese, black olives, baby spinach
Ingredient Swaps & Additions
- Make it vegetarian: Swap the chicken for roasted chickpeas or grilled halloumi.
- No tzatziki? Use plain Greek yogurt mixed with garlic and lemon juice.
- Add crunch: Top with shredded lettuce or cucumbers after baking.
- Spice it up: Sprinkle with chili flakes or drizzle with hot honey.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place naan breads on a baking sheet.
2. Add Toppings:
Spread a generous layer of tzatziki over each naan.
Top with cooked chicken, red onions, and cherry tomatoes. Add olives or feta if using.
3. Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the naan is crisp and the toppings are heated through.
4. Finish & Serve:
Optional: garnish with fresh herbs, extra tzatziki, or a handful of baby spinach.
Slice and enjoy immediately!
Tips for Success
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for an ultra-fast option.
- Don’t overload the naan—keep toppings light so it stays crispy.
- Serve immediately for best texture. Tzatziki is best added before baking or fresh after.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
Pair this light and fresh naan pizza with:
- A chilled glass of blueberry lemonade
- A side of tangy chicken salad for a picnic-style meal
- Sheet pan quesadillas if you’re feeding a group
- Or serve with Dorito casserole for a balance of light and indulgent
Storage & Leftovers
- Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
- Avoid freezing if using fresh veggies and tzatziki—they may separate when thawed.
