Quick and Easy Barbecue Chicken Naan Pizzas
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
Arrange the naan on the baking sheet. Drizzle an equal amount of olive oil over the surface of each piece and spread with the back of a spoon.
4
Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce evenly on the center of each naan piece, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the sauce. Reserve remaining barbecue sauce for serving.
5
Cut the onion into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
6
Arrange an equal amount of onion slices, shredded chicken, and the shredded cheeses onto each naan piece.
7
Bake the pizzas on lower-middle rack of oven until naan is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and golden, 13-15 minutes.
8
Check to see that pizzas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
Halve the tomato, then remove and discard the seeds. Dice tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
10
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
11
Top each pizza with equal amounts of tomato and cilantro, then drizzle with reserved barbecue sauce. Slice and serve. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Naan First 🔥Lightly toast the naan on a dry skillet for 30-45 seconds per side before topping to create a crispy, sturdy base that prevents sogginess from sauce and cheese.
- Dry Your Rotisserie Chicken 🍗Pat the shredded chicken with paper towels to remove excess moisture, preventing a wet pizza and allowing better browning and texture in the oven.
- Balance Your Barbecue Sauce 🍯Mix your barbecue sauce with a tablespoon of lime juice or apple cider vinegar to cut through the sweetness and enhance the tangy flavor profile for a more sophisticated taste.
- Layer Cheese Strategically 🧀Use mozzarella as your base layer and cheddar as your top layer—the mozzarella melts evenly while cheddar adds color and sharpness without becoming greasy.
- Add Cilantro After Baking 🌿Sprinkle fresh cilantro and red onion immediately after the pizza comes out of the oven while still warm, so the heat releases their aromatic oils without wilting them completely.
