Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Naan Bread: Naan is perfect for this recipe because it stays soft and crispy when baked. If you can’t find naan, pita bread can work too. Or, try making your own flatbreads for a fun twist!
Chicken Breast: Grilled chicken adds great flavor. If you’re short on time, rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut. For a vegetarian option, you can use chickpeas or tofu instead, seasoned well!
Tzatziki Sauce: This yogurt-based sauce is key for that refreshing taste. If dairy-free is needed, use coconut yogurt mixed with chopped cucumber and a bit of lemon juice. Homemade tzatziki is easy too—just mix yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, and herbs!
Vegetables: Baby spinach and grape tomatoes are tasty, but feel free to mix in other veggies! Red bell peppers or feta cheese are delicious additions. Consider adding sliced cucumbers or olives for more Mediterranean vibes.
How Do I Get My Naan Pizza Crispy?
Getting your naan crispy is all about the baking technique. Here’s a simple guide:
- Brush the naan lightly with olive oil before adding toppings. This helps it crisp up.
- Preheat your oven well so that when you place the naan in, it quickly starts to cook.
- Keep an eye on the color! Bake for about 8-10 minutes, but if it needs more time, check in every minute until it’s golden and crisp.
Enjoy the crispy base and flavorful toppings of your naan pizza!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). It’s important to have a hot oven to make your naan crispy!
2. Prepare the Naan:
Place the naan breads on a baking sheet in a single layer. Using a brush or spoon, lightly coat each naan with olive oil to help it crisp up while baking.
3. Spread the Tzatziki:
Take the tzatziki sauce and spread a generous layer over each piece of naan, covering it well with that delicious, creamy goodness.
4. Add Spinach and Chicken:
Next, place the fresh baby spinach leaves evenly on top of the tzatziki. Then, add the grilled chicken slices on top of the spinach.
5. Top with Veggies:
Scatter the halved grape tomatoes and thinly sliced red onions over the naan pizzas. This adds freshness and crunch!
6. Season:
Sprinkle the tops with dried oregano, along with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
7. Bake:
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it—you want the naan to become lightly golden and crispy while the toppings heat through.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, take the naan pizzas out of the oven. Serve them hot and, if you’d like, drizzle a little extra tzatziki sauce on top before diving in!

FAQ for Easy Tzatziki Chicken Veggie Naan Pizza
Can I Use Store-Bought Tzatziki Sauce?
Absolutely! Store-bought tzatziki saves time and is often very tasty. If you prefer homemade, it’s just as easy to whip up with yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, and some herbs.
Can I Make This Pizza Vegetarian?
Yes! Simply omit the chicken and add more veggies like sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives. You could also use chickpeas or another protein for added texture and flavor.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to get the naan crisp again.
What Vegetables Can I Add or Substitute?
Feel free to get creative! You can add ingredients like arugula, zucchini, or even crumbled feta cheese. Just ensure any added veggies are chopped small enough to cook through in the 8-10 minutes of baking.
