Recipe FAQ
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.
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!
Variations
Naan bread pizza is such a flexible recipe. Here are some swaps you can make:
- Sauce - swap the sauce for regular pizza, pesto, or barbecue sauce. To keep it 'Thai,' you could swap the sauce for peanut sauce!
- Protein - swap the chicken for shrimp, or omit it.
- Veggies- swap for your favorite pizza toppings!

Shelley says
This was so delicious. I made it exactly as the recipe stated. I only made one to start because I was skeptical, but oh my goodness even my 15 year old son gobbled it up. I only put the ingredients on two of the Naan to have less carbs and more veggies and protein for my sin. He is 6'4" and plays football, so he is hungry. He ate a whole one with 2xs the toppings, and loved it. We will be making this again. Tomorrow the chicken sandwiches.

Kirsten@BarkingDogShoes says
The best recipe I've made from Pinterest. The honey lime chicken is wonderful by itself! But the yogurt combo with the chicken, veggies and cheese on the NAAN? Amazing. My 13 year old so couldn't get enough. I added a little cilantro on top.
Denise says
Kirsten, thank-you so much <3 You've totally made my day! Putting yogurt on pizza sounds pretty strange, doesn't it? I'm happy you gave it a try and even happier that you liked it so much!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
I haven't tried using naan bread as crust before, but one thing's for sure, I will definitely try this!
I love all the flavors. This looks fantastic!
Carrie @Frugal Foodie Mama says
What a delicious way to fuse together Thai and Indian flavors! And I love that you used naan bread for the crust. ๐
Krista @ Joyful Healthy Eats says
I love naan pizzas and this thai curry version sounds incredible!
Denise says
Ha ha maybe I should call it Thai-Indian-Italian fusion cuisine? Thanks, Jenny!
Sara @ Bitz & Giggles says
I love using tortillas for a pizza crust, but this naan crust looks absolutely delish! What a pretty pizza!
Denise says
I've never tried tortillas, sounds like a great idea (I always seem to have extras lying around). Thanks, Sara!
Stacey @ Bake.Eat.Repeat. says
LOVE that you used one chicken recipe for three meals! That's such a great idea! And these naan bread pizzas sound fantastic - 2 minutes!! That's amazing.
Denise says
Thanks, Stacey! I was tired of making a huge batch in the slow cooker and having so many left-overs!
Beth says
2 minutes? You've convinced me!! I'm so hungry anyway!
Denise says
It's so easy! Thanks, Beth!
