Directions

Prepare the Tzatziki Chicken:

Make the Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic powder, dried dill (or fresh dill), salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken breast (diced or shredded) to the tzatziki sauce and mix to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Naan Pizzas:

Prepare the Naan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the naan breads on a baking sheet.
Top the Naan with Chicken: Spoon the tzatziki-marinated chicken mixture evenly over each naan bread.
Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the chicken.
Add Veggies: Top with your choice of chopped vegetables—bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or red onions work great for this recipe.

Bake:

Bake the Naan Pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the naan is golden and crispy.

Serve:

Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the pizzas with fresh dill and serve immediately. Enjoy the Mediterranean-inspired flavors of this easy, healthy naan pizza!
