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.
