Equipment

Method
 

Toss chicken with BBQ sauce
  1. Toss the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  2. Set the sauced chicken aside so it’s ready to top the naan.
Grill the naan pizzas
  1. Place the naan breads on the grill over medium heat.
  2. Top each naan with BBQ chicken, mozzarella, and red onion.
  3. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom is crispy, keeping the grill at medium heat.
Finish and serve
  1. Remove the naan pizzas from the grill.
  2. Top with fresh cilantro and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  3. Slice and serve immediately while the cheese is still molten.

Notes

Pro tip: Don’t overload the naan—keep the chicken in an even layer so the bottom crisps in the 5-8 minute cook window. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat on a grill or skillet until warmed through. Freezing isn’t recommended for best texture. Dietary swap: use dairy-free cheese and make the ranch drizzle with dairy-free yogurt-based dressing for a lactose-free option.
