Ingredients

Scale

For the Toppings

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 green peppers, sliced
2–3 tbsp tikka masala curry paste
1 green chilli, thinly sliced
1 small pack coriander, leaves torn
few dollops of mango chutney, to serve

For the Base

4 garlic and coriander naan breads
150ml natural yogurt

Instructions

Prepare the onion: Toss the thinly sliced red onion with the red wine vinegar and a good pinch of salt. Set aside to allow the vinegar to soften the onion slightly, preventing it from being too raw on the final pizza.
Heat the naan breads: Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/gas mark 4. Place the naan breads on a baking tray, sprinkle a little water over them, and bake for 2 minutes to warm them up and make them pliable for toppings.
Cook the chicken and peppers: While the naan breads heat, add the chicken strips and sliced green peppers to a frying pan. Stir in the tikka masala curry paste to coat. Cook over high heat, tossing frequently for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers are tender.
Assemble the pizzas: Remove the warmed naan breads from the oven. Spread each one evenly with natural yogurt to create a creamy base layer. Then top each naan with the cooked chicken and peppers, softened red onion, thinly sliced green chilli, torn coriander leaves, and finish with dollops of mango chutney for a sweet and tangy kick.

Notes

Using red wine vinegar softens the onion, balancing the strong flavor on the pizza.
Sprinkling water on naan before heating keeps them soft and prevents drying out.
Adjust the amount of tikka masala curry paste based on your preferred spice level.
Mango chutney adds a sweet contrast that complements the spicy flavors.
You can substitute chicken breasts with thigh meat for juicier results.
