Delicious Tandoori Chicken Pizza Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup Tandoori chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1 medium pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce (preferably spicy)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully heated for a crispy crust.
  2. Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.

    Use a rolling pin for even thickness.
  3. Add Sauce

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough.

    Leave a small border around the edges for crust.
  4. Layer Ingredients

    Top with shredded tandoori chicken, mozzarella cheese, red onion, and bell pepper.

    Distribute toppings evenly for balanced flavor.
  5. Season and Drizzle

    Sprinkle garlic powder and cumin over the toppings, and drizzle with olive oil.

    This enhances the flavors of the toppings.
  6. Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden.

    Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and slice.

    Serve hot for the best taste.
