Naan Pizza, My Favorite Easy Weeknight Dinner

Jump to Recipe

Naan Pizza is absolutely one of my favorite easy meals to make. This recipe actually came from one of the guys at the firehall that my husband brought home. We usually plan this for a meal when we are both going to have busy day, or just need a quick and delicious meal.

You can use whatever you like on your pizza, but our favorites are red onion, red pepper and shredded chicken. We have used leftovers from my chicken breasts recipe, and when we roast a whole chicken. To make this even easier, just grab a fully cooked rotisserie chicken from the store on your way home.

Top with your favorite veggies and BBQ Sauce

The secret to this Naan Pizza being so good is the Madras Curry Paste we mix with the pizza sauce. Our favorite one is by Patak’s, but if your store doesn’t have that brand, no worries. The curry paste has a nice little spiciness, and the flavor is just incredible.

You can always top your pizza after cooking with some extra sauce, or with some BBQ sauce. We love the Frank’s Buffalo BBQ, or you could try my homemade BBQ Sauce Recipe.

Naan Pizza with BBQ sauce for the weeknight win

Now I know I didn’t do a great job with the BBQ sauce for the photos. I should have put it in a squirt bottle and make it look nice and pretty but we aren’t perfect. And if i’m being completely honest, I was so hungry and could not wait to eat this so I rushed it. And that’s what life is sometimes, a bit rushed, but I did savor this Naan Pizza!

Notes

I like my veggies to get a little cooked, but if you don’t I recommend putting a little extra cheese on top of your veggies so they don’t burn. This is what my husband usually does because he also likes to cook his a little longer.

My Favorite Easy BBQ Sauce

Homemade BBQ Sauce is one of my favorite things to make. Not only is it easy and delicious, but it fills your house with such an amazing aroma, you will be counting down the minutes until dinner!

I remember the first time I made this BBQ Sauce and my husband was outside working in the back yard. I had the overhead vent on so he could smell the sauce while he was outside. He could NOT stop talking about it and how he couldn’t wait to eat it which obviously made me very happy to hear.

If you have not made your own homemade BBQ sauce before, I highly recommend trying this recipe because it is so easy, and tastes so much better than store bought sauce. Don’t get me wrong, we still love our Frank’s BBQ Sauce, but they are so different it’s hard to compare.

The best BBQ Sauce

One of our favorite meals to enjoy this sauce with is my Crockpot Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Homemade Coleslaw. I cannot put into words how much I love these sandwiches but this is one of my ultimate comfort foods!
