Ingredients
  

naan breads
  • 4 naan breads
bbq chicken topping
  • 1.5 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
cheese and toppings
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Ranch dressing for drizzling

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the BBQ chicken
  1. Toss the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated and glossy.
Grill the naan pizzas
  1. Place the naan breads on the grill over medium heat and cook just until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes, watching for grill marks.
  2. Top each naan with the BBQ chicken, then add shredded mozzarella and scatter the red onion over the cheese.
  3. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-8 minutes at medium heat, until the cheese melts and the bottom looks crisp and browned.
Finish and serve
  1. Remove the pizzas from the grill and top with fresh chopped cilantro, so the herbs look bright and fresh.
  2. Drizzle with ranch dressing in thin lines for a creamy finish.
  3. Slice and serve immediately while the cheese is still stretchy.

Notes

For best results, keep the grill at steady medium heat so the naan crisps without burning; if your grill runs hot, cook the naan for 1 minute before topping. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days, then reheat on a skillet or grill until warmed through (cheese may be less stretchy). Freezing is not recommended for this grilled texture. For a lower-calorie option, use part-skim mozzarella and slightly reduce the BBQ sauce amount per serving.
