Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 naan breads
- 1/2 cup Thai red curry paste
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Place the naan breads on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- In a small bowl, spread the Thai red curry paste evenly across each naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent burning.
- Distribute the shredded cooked chicken uniformly over the curry paste layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Scatter the sliced bell peppers across the top of the chicken, creating a colorful and vibrant topping.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken and bell peppers, covering the entire surface.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the naan are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the naan pizzas cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves, adding a bright, fresh flavor and aromatic touch.
- Slice each naan pizza in half or quarters and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Use high-quality Thai red curry paste for the most authentic flavor—look for brands from Thailand for the best results.
- If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, quickly sauté chicken breast or use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For extra crispiness, brush the naan edges with a little olive oil before baking.
- Customize your pizza by adding other toppings like sliced green onions, Thai basil, or a drizzle of coconut milk.
- Watch the pizza closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning—every oven is slightly different.
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make cutting easier.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with tofu or add more roasted vegetables.
