• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tsp spicy tandoori paste, store brought

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Cooking instructions for Tandoori Chicken Naan Pizzas:

• Place the Greek yogurt in a medium mixing bowl and stir in the tandoori paste until well combined.
• Throw in the chicken cubes and give them a nice stir to coat well.
• Place a lid on top and leave in the fridge for at least an hour to marinate.
• Meanwhile, warm up your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Drizzle the oil into a medium skillet and heat it over slow flame until it starts shimmering.
• Toss the sliced onions into it and sauté for half an hour or until they caramelize nicely and turn completely soft, with a hint of sweetness.
• Drain them out into a bowl and set aside.
• Tip the entire content of the bowl with marinate chicken into the pan and cook for 6 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is properly cooked and the sauce reduces slightly.
• Turn off the heat and spread the chicken as well as its sauce over both naan breads.
• Sprinkle the caramelized onions on top, followed by the sliced mangoes over them.
• Top both the naan pizzas with shredded cheese and place them into the oven.
• Bake them for 12 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns bubbly while the naan breads turn crispy.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro leaves on top.
• Slice them into large wedges, using a pizza cutter and serve right away.
