One of my favorite ways to enjoy a quick and easy pizza dinner is by using Naan bread. Naan bread makes an excellent pizza crust. I love how it stays firm yet still soft in the center while the edges crisp up.
I also like to make a rotisserie chicken at least once a week. Then I use the leftovers to make other recipes, like this BBQ Chicken Naan Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Sliders, and Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese!
Ingredients
Naan Bread
BBQ Sauce, this is my families go to sauce.
Cooked Chicken
Mozzarella Cheese
Jalapeno
Red Onion
Cilantro
Equipment
Large rimless baking sheet, I love this insulated rimless sheet.

- Tossing the cooked chicken in the bbq sauce will add extra flavor to the chicken.
- Leave at least a ½ inch edge around the naan bread when spreading with barbecue sauce.

- Add pineapple pieces to the topping for to add a level of sweet to spicy.
