How To Make Your Own BBQ Chicken Naan Flatbread Pizza

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade BBQ sauce can reduce sugar and preservatives.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Grilled chicken is leaner, while canned is budget-friendly.

red onion

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: white onion

Green onions add freshness, while white onions are more economical.

Combine flour, milk, yeast, sugar, and salt in a KitchenAid mixer and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Let the dough rest in a bowl with some oil for 2 hours to rise.

Divide the risen dough into thirds, each portion weighing between 12 to 13 ounces.

Fold each portion into itself to create surface tension, pinching and sealing the back until tight.

Form each portion into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Freeze any unused portions after the initial rise or let them rest for another couple of hours before making the pizza.

Prepare toppings: slice green peppers, red peppers, and red onions; shred cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

For the chicken, heat a pan over medium heat with olive oil, season chicken breast with salt and pepper, and pound it to about half an inch thick.

Sear the chicken in the pan until golden brown on each side, then set aside to cool slightly before dicing.

Preheat the oven to the highest setting (500°F) with baking steels placed at the top and bottom.

If using pre-made naan, place toppings on it and broil until cheese melts, or use a nonstick pan with oil/butter covered to steam and toast the naan.

For the garlic butter, add minced garlic to the pan with residual heat (off) and some butter, allowing it to melt and toast slightly.

Transfer the garlic butter to a ramekin, adding more butter if desired for a liquid consistency.

Prepare the dough by sprinkling semolina or corn flour on the work surface, degas the dough slightly, and stretch it out using hands or a rolling pin.

Stretch the dough into a pizza shape using knuckle stretches or tossing it between hands to let gravity help.
