Ingredients

Butter chicken:

1 large chicken breast
2 teaspoon Greek yogurt
½ C butter chicken sauce divided + extra for the pizza; store bought or homemade

For the pizzas:

2 naan each shaped into 7-8" rounds; or you can use store-bought
¼ red onion sliced
1 C shredded mozzarella
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions

Make the butter chicken:

In a bowl, marinate the chicken breast with Greek yogurt and ¼ C butter chicken sauce.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Broil the chicken (about 6-7" away from the top element) for about 8-10 minutes per side, flipping halfway through, or until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C.
Remove from heat and cover with a piece of foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into smaller pieces.
Heat up the remaining ¼ C butter chicken sauce in a small saucepan until warmed through and add the chicken pieces to it.

Assemble the pizza:

Spread a thin layer of butter chicken sauce over the surface of the naan.
Portion out the cooked butter chicken pieces.
Sprinkle on cheese and red onion.
Place onto a baking sheet and bake at 450°F/232°C for 5-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and naan is slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Repeat with the remainder.
Serve immediately.
