  • Total Time: 28 mins
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 1 chicken breast
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Base and Sauce

  • 2 pieces naan bread
  • Sweet chili sauce, to taste
  • Bottled peanut sauce, for drizzling

Vegetables and Toppings

  • Red bell pepper, diced
  • Red onion, diced
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 carrot, cut into long thin strips with a vegetable peeler
  • ⅓ cup bean sprouts
  • Basil, cut into thin strips
  • Cilantro, roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup peanuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven or broiler: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), or set the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. Season both sides generously with garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook the chicken: Grill the chicken on a medium-high grill for approximately 8 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, pan-fry it with a little olive oil. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the pizzas: Spread sweet chili sauce evenly onto the two pieces of naan bread according to your taste preference. Top each naan with diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and the cooked chicken pieces.
  5. Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over each naan. Bake the pizzas in the oven for about 10 minutes or broil for approximately 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye when broiling as times can vary.
  6. Finish with toppings: Drizzle bottled peanut sauce over the hot pizzas. Then top with bean sprouts, fresh basil strips, chopped cilantro, carrot strips, and chopped peanuts for a fresh and crunchy finish.
  7. Serve: Slice the pizzas and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Keeping an eye on the pizzas while broiling is essential as broiler strengths can vary widely.
  • For added spice, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes on top before serving.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best aroma and flavor impact.
  • You can substitute naan bread with pita or flatbread if preferred.
