Using naan as a base for this pizza is such a convenient way to get dinner on the table quickly (no messing around with dough!).  It also means each person can have their own single serve pizza!

With spicy Thai curry 'sauce', shredded chicken, and veggies, this Thai curry naan pizza is definitely a unique flavor combo that somehow works SO well.

It easy to prep, packed with so much delicious flavor, and way cheaper than ordering take out.

Let's talk ingredients

• naan- or any flatbread
• sauce- yogurt, thai curry paste and tomatoes- yes, this sounds insane but trust me on this one 😉
• chicken- we are using slow cooker honey lime chicken but you can use any shredded or chopped cooked chicken
• cheese- mozzarella works best here but dollops of ricotta are also amazing!
• toppings- thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots and fresh cilantro to serve

I can't find naan. What can I use instead? 

This method should work well on a variety of flatbreads. Pita bread should work as well. Keep in mind that cook times may vary if you swap the naan.

Can I meal prep this recipe?

After cooking the pizza, it's best to eat it right away as it is just not as good after sitting. If you want to meal prep, you could prep chop the veggies, pre-shred the cheese and cook the chicken ahead. In fact, this recipe is part of a meal prep plan (+shopping list), which you can find here!

Can I swap an ingredient?

Naan bread pizza is such a flexible recipe. Here are some swaps you can make:

• sauce- swap the sauce for regular pizza sauce, pesto or barbecue sauce. To keep it 'Thai', you could swap the sauce for peanut sauce!
• protein- swap the chicken for shrimp, pepperoni, or omit it
• veggies- swap for your favorite pizza toppings! Pineapple, red onion, olives, spinach and so many more.
