Tandoori Chicken Pizza

Tandoori Chicken Pizza combines the spicy, aromatic flavors of traditional Indian cuisine with the beloved comfort of pizza. This unique dish features marinated chicken, zesty sauce, and a medley of fresh toppings on a crispy crust.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Tandoori masala - 2 tablespoons
• Plain yogurt - 3 tablespoons
• Pizza dough - 1 round (about 250 grams)
• Pizza sauce - 1/2 cup
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded - 1 cup
• Red onion, thinly sliced - 1/4 medium
• Bell pepper, thinly sliced - 1/4 medium
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the tandoori masala, plain yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.
3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Slice the marinated chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Spread the cooked chicken evenly over the pizza sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese, red onion, and bell pepper.
6. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
