A rustic pizza with tender tandoori chicken, fresh basil and mozzarella is what I made for our Sunday Supper celebration of ” National Pizza month”. East meets West in this spicy, sweet, herbaceous, zippy pizza which tickles the palate and hits your taste buds with some serious kick! I have made tandoori chicken pizza before and my family loved it so I decided to do a spin off my usual tandoori chicken pizza by using some new ingredients. I topped the chicken with a layer of fresh basil and slices of mozzarella. I used Naan aka Indian bread as the pizza base. The naan was a small size which gave us 4 decent slices per pizza and it turned out slightly larger than a pan pizza. If you’re feeding more than 2 or 3 people I would recommend you make at least two pizzas unless you plan on using a larger naan or pizza crust. The nice thing about this dish is you can make the chicken ahead of time. I made tandoori chicken for dinner last night and the leftover chicken became today’s pizza. You can grab the recipe for my tandoori chicken here. Overall I was quite pleased with the experiment. Melted chunks of mozzarella on top of tender spicy chicken tasted entirely too yummy. Basil added a fresh feel and mingled well with the other flavors. Family loved it and I hope you will too. From my kitchen to yours!
Nutrition wise : Chicken is a good source of lean protein, iron, zinc and B12. Basil is high in vitamin C , A and K. Cheese adds calcium and vitamin D while the wholegrain crust gives you some healthy carbs. Not a bad one pot meal in a pizza!
