Quick Indian-Style Chicken Pizza topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 3 tablespoons store-bought tandoori paste or marinade
- 450 g thin skinless and boneless chicken breasts
- Half an English cucumber, coarsely grated
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
- 4 naan breads
- 1/4 tsp. garam masala
- 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro and/or mint, coarsely chopped + extra for serving
- Juice of a quarter of a lemon
- 110 g paneer, halloumi or feta, cut into small pieces
- A quarter of a red onion, thinly sliced
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to broil. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup yogurt with the tandoori paste. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Set aside for 10 minutes. Combine the grated cucumber in a colander with 1/4 teaspoon of salt; stir to drain.
- Brush the flatbreads with oil on one side and sprinkle with garam masala. Place them on one baking sheet and broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken on another baking sheet and broil until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then slice.
- While the chicken is frying, squeeze the cucumber with your hands to remove excess water. Combine the cucumber with the herbs, lemon juice, the remaining 3/4 cup yogurt, and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Evenly distribute the chicken, cheese, and red onion among the flatbreads. Broil in the oven until the cheese is golden brown and softened, 1-2 minutes. Drizzle the pizza with cucumber yogurt. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
