Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza

Whipping up dinner when it’s just me and the little sous chefs – who are wicked picky – is kind of a pain. I love cooking, but cooking for little ones who think Velveeta is a magical sauce is not as much fun. No offense to Velveeta. Enter in leftovers, naan bread and cheese. AKA – Chicken Tikka Masala pizzas. I saw a jar of the Tikka Masala sauce at the store, and it was perfect for the chicken legs I knew the kiddos would eat. After cooking the chicken, I drained the sauce and juices into a pan where I simmered them down until they were the consistency of pizza sauce.

Using some frozen Naan bread I spread the sauce, added some shredded chicken and cheese and voila! Chicken Tikka Masala pizza. The sauce was a little spicy for my youngest so I gave her some greek yogurt to dip it in. She gobbled up like she hadn’t eaten in a week. Score 1 for Mama.

Recipe

  • 1 jar or 2 cups Tikka Masala Sauce
  • 2 c shredded chicken
  • 6 Naan breads
  • 2 c shredded cheese (cheddar, parmesan, mozzerella, etc.)
  • Greek yogurt (for dipping)

Preheat oven to 350.

Spread sauce across the naan breads, top with shredded chicken and cheese.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Bon Appetit!
