A quick and easy homemade pizza using naan bread as the base, topped with BBQ ranch chicken, cheese, and a creamy ranch drizzle. Perfect for busy weeknights and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces naan bread (store-bought or homemade, pita-style preferred)
  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (e.g., Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing, creamy and chilled
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and mozzarella blend)
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing naan
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with ½ cup BBQ sauce and 2 tablespoons ranch dressing. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Lightly brush or rub each naan piece with olive oil on both sides.
  4. Place naan on a baking sheet. Spread half of the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over each naan, leaving a small border around edges.
  5. Sprinkle ¾ cup shredded cheese evenly over each naan. Scatter thin slices of red onion on top.
  6. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, and naan edges are crisp and light brown.
  7. Remove from oven and drizzle remaining ranch dressing over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if using.
  8. Slice and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Brush naan with olive oil to prevent sogginess and encourage crisping. Watch bake time carefully to avoid burning. For extra crispness, preheat baking sheet before placing naan. If naan darkens before cheese melts, tent with foil. Optionally finish under broiler for 30 seconds, watching closely.
