Easy BBQ Chicken Naan Pizza (Copycat California Pizza Kitchen Recipe!)
Description
This recipe uses naan bread as the base topped with barbecue sauce spread both directly on the naan and mixed into cooked shredded chicken. Sliced red onions and shredded mozzarella cheese are layered on top before baking in a preheated 450°F oven placed in the lower half rack. The pizza bakes for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges of the naan develop a slight golden crispness.
After baking, the pizzas are finished with freshly chopped cilantro for a bright herbaceous accent. The BBQ sauce provides tang and smokiness complementing the tender chicken and creamy cheese, while the naan offers a softer alternative to traditional pizza crust.
This pizza style suits a quick weeknight dinner or casual meal. The recipe notes that nutritional information does not account for added seasonings or brand variations, suggesting using a nutrition calculator for precise dietary tracking.
