    3

    Divide the pesto sauce equally between the naan pieces and spread into an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the sauce.
    5
    |
    Arrange equal amounts of shredded chicken and cheese on each piece of naan.
    6
    |
    Bake the pizzas on lower-middle rack of oven until the naan is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and golden, 13-15 minutes.

    Tips & Tricks (5)

    • Pesto Precision 🌿
      Spread pesto in a thin, even layer to prevent soggy naan and ensure balanced flavor in every bite.
    • Chicken Shredding Hack 🍗
      Use two forks to quickly and evenly shred warm rotisserie chicken, creating perfect bite-sized pieces for your naan pizza.
    • Crispy Naan Secret 🔥
      Lightly brush naan edges with olive oil before topping to achieve a perfectly crisp and golden crust when baked.
    • Tomato Technique 🍅
      Pat fresh tomato slices dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture from making your naan pizza soggy.
    • Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
      For ultimate cheese melt, broil the pizzas for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
