Instructions

In a bowl, combine yogurt, tomato paste, oil, and all spices. Add the chicken strips and mix well until fully coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer for deeper flavor).Cook the chicken in a hot pan until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Mix passata with salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, basil, and a pinch of sugar. Stir until combined.

Preheat oven to 220°C (top & bottom heat).

If possible, place a pizza stone in the oven while preheating. Preheating the stone helps create a crispier bottom crust and more even baking.

Roll out the XXL pizza dough onto baking paper. Spread the seasoned tomato sauce evenly over the base. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly on top.

Finish with the remaining mozzarella over the chicken. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (or bake on a tray if you don’t have one). Bake for about 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, water, and spices until smooth and creamy.

Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce.

Slice and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Marinate Chicken with Yogurt Base 🍗
Mix yogurt with your spices (cumin, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder) and marinate chicken for at least 2 hours before cooking to tenderize the meat and infuse deep, authentic döner flavors throughout.
Layer Your Yogurt Sauce Strategically 🥄
Combine Greek yogurt with strained regular yogurt for perfect consistency, then add minced garlic and a pinch of salt only 10 minutes before serving to prevent the sauce from becoming watery or separated.
Bloom Your Spices in Oil First 🌶️
Heat your oil and toast the dried mint, cumin, and paprika for 30-60 seconds before adding the chicken to unlock their full aromatic potential and create a more complex, restaurant-quality spice profile.
Pre-Char Your Dough Edges ⏱️
Partially bake the XL pizza dough for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings to ensure crispy, golden edges that won't become soggy from the yogurt sauce's moisture.
Balance Acidity with Tomato Paste Caramelization 🍅
Cook your tomato paste in oil for 2-3 minutes before mixing into the passata to reduce acidity, deepen flavor, and prevent the sauce from overpowering the delicate yogurt topping.
