T.G.I.F. people! And welcome the return of some faux-bar food Friday deliciousness!
Now, you know the husband and I love our homemade pizza creations – but sometimes, there’s just not enough time to make the dough and let it rise in time for dinner!
So on those evenings, I usually stop by the store and grab a 2-pack of Naan – which is an Indian flat bread. You can also grab a pre-made pizza crust. I just love the “rustic” shape of flat breads. And my co-workers can testify that any time we go out to lunch, if there’s a flat bread on the menu, I will be ordering it!
You can obviously throw anything on this and make it your own, but here is a variety that we love! Try it this weekend – there’s so much going on this Saturday (Grizzlies playoff game, Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo celebrations!) so this might be a great meal to throw together between gatherings and parties!
Barbecue Chicken Pizza (serves 2)
2 pieces whole wheat Naan
1 4-oz chicken breast (I made 2, but didn’t need it all!)
Barbecue seasoning
Olive oil spray
Garlic salt
1/2 cup barbecue sauce + more to drizzle
3 slices red onion, diced
1/2 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese
Heat a skillet on medium. Coat chicken breasts on both sides with barbecue seasoning. Cook chicken in skillet.
Preheat oven to 375.
Once chicken is cooked, add to food processor and shred.
Spray Naan with olive oil and sprinkle garlic salt.
Pour barbecue sauce over Naan and spread.
Add red onions on top of the barbecue sauce.
Add shredded chicken on top of the onions.
Mix cheeses together and sprinkle on top of the chicken.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted. Drizzle with additional sauce and serve!
Slice and wash down with a cold beer. Or mint julep. Or margarita. Like I said, it’s a big weekend!
Oh – and Happy Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you!
(I know, I know…)
This looks good – will give a try. Trying your bang bang shrimp this weekend.
