How to Make Butter Chicken Curry Pizza

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Set a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped chicken pieces. Salt and pepper the chicken liberally, then stir to brown the chicken pieces on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the butter chicken sauce into the pan. Stir to coat the chicken pieces in the masala sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop all the fresh ingredients for the pizzas. Once the butter chicken curry has fully cooked, lay the pieces of naan bread out on baking sheets. Spoon the chicken curry sauce evenly over the top of the naan, leaving room around the edge. Sprinkle the top of each curry pizza with a ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Then top each Indian pizza with thinly sliced bell pepper, onion, jalapeños, and a little bit of goat cheese. Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. When the pizzas come out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh mint and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these personal-sized curry pizzas with a simple green salad, or pair them with your favorite Indian side dishes! We love to balance the spicy jalapenos on the pizzas with a refreshing Kachumber Salad or cool and creamy Raita (yogurt sauce). Want an even heartier meal? Consider serving masala pizza with other classic Indian-inspired foods like Aromatic Rice, Vegetable Pakora or Chicken Pakora, or Green Mango Chaat. And you HAVE to try Kulfi Ice Cream for dessert!
