Get dinner on the table in 10 minutes with this simple and delicious Thai chicken naan pizza! With spicy Thai curry 'sauce', shredded chicken and veggies, it's a unique twist for pizza night.

Do you like to get adventurous with your pizza? We do! Our favorites include this Guacamole Pizza with Corn + Zucchini and this Kale, Pine Nut and Ricotta Pizza. Our go-to lately has been this Thai chicken pizza made on naan bread!

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.

Reasons you’ll ♡ this Thai chicken naan pizza

  • it makes individual servings
  • it gets dinner on the table quickly and is cheaper than takeout
  • it's a delicious blend of Thai flavors + fresh veggies that shouldn't work...but does SO well!

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

Tips for perfect pizzas

  • broil- we need to use the broiler for this recipe. If you are not in North America, this refers to cooking under an extremely high heat in your oven, and may be called the 'grill'.
  • caution- keep an eye on your naan as it broils, as it can go from golden to burnt in seconds! All ovens behave differently so the best way to know when your pizza is done is to keep a careful eye on it.
  • meal plan- find a meal prep plan + shopping list for this recipe here!
  • grill- yes, you can make these naan pizzas on the barbecue as well! Full directions are in the recipe card.

Find my favorite sheet pans in my shop!

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.

  • Sesame Soba Noodle Salad (also part of the prep ahead meal plan)
  • Caprese Chicken Quinoa Salad
  • Healthy Chicken Quesadilla
  • Broccoli Quinoa Casserole

Ingredients

Thai Curry Spiced Yogurt:

  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
  • 4 teaspoons Thai red curry paste

Pizza:

  • 4 pieces naan
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced thinly)
  • 1 carrot (shredded)
  • 1 cup shredded chicken (I recommend this Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chicken)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • cilantro (garnish)

Instructions 

  • In a bowl, mash the tomatoes with a fork until soft. Stir in the yogurt and curry paste until completely combined.
  • Heat broiler. Arrange naan on sturdy baking sheet. Broil for 2 minutes or until slightly golden.
  • Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the yogurt on each of the naan breads.
  • Top with remaining ingredients.
  • Place the pizzas under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and pizzas are heated through.
  • To BBQ: Heat grill over high.
  • Grill naan over direct heat for 2 minutes or until slightly golden.
  • Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the yogurt on each of the naan breads, then top with remaining ingredients.
  • Place the naan bread pizzas directly on the grate and cook for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and pizzas are heated through.
  • To Serve: Sprinkle with cilantro if desired and serve immediately.

Storage

  • This recipe is best served fresh, however you can cook the chicken, shred the cheese and prep the vegetables up to 4 days before cooking the pizzas.

    5 stars
    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.

    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.

      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!

    I love all the flavors. This looks fantastic!

    I love using tortillas for a pizza crust, but this naan crust looks absolutely delish! What a pretty pizza!

      I've never tried tortillas, sounds like a great idea (I always seem to have extras lying around). Thanks, Sara!

      Thanks, Stacey! I was tired of making a huge batch in the slow cooker and having so many left-overs!
