Tandoori Chicken Naan Pizza

Prep Time: 1 hour | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes | Yield: 3 pizzas

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain yogurt, plus more to top

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons ginger

1 tablespoon hot paprika

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons garam masala

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons tomato paste

3 pieces naan bread

1/2 red onion, sliced

1 cup mango sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Mint, to garnish

Cilantro, to garnish

Plain yogurt, to top

Instructions

Combine the yogurt, lemon, oil, garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, garam masala, and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth to make the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and place in a freezer bag with half of the marinade, turning to coat well. Reserve the remaining half of the marinade in a separate container. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from heat and cut into chunks.

Brush the naan with oil. Mix the previously reserved marinade mixture with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Add additional yogurt to thin, if necessary, to give a spreadable consistency. Spread the naan with the tomato-yogurt mixture. Top with the red onion, chicken, mango, and mozzarella. Turn down the heat on the grill and place the naan pizzas on, or put the naan pizzas on a shelf above the grill grate. Close the lid and grill until the cheese melts. Remove from heat

Top the pizzas with mint leaves and cilantro, drizzle with yogurt, and serve.
