Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 300 g diced chicken breast
  • 120 g low fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 15 g ginger minced
  • 4 garlic cloves diced
Butter Chicken Sauce
  • 10 g light butter
  • ½ white onion sliced
  • 400 g diced tomatoes
  • 40 g low fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garam masala
Pizza Dough
  • 95 g self raising flour
  • 110 g low fat Greek yogurt
Toppings
  • 70 g low fat grated cheese
  • Sliced red onion
  • 30 g yogurt drizzle optional

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix diced chicken with Greek yogurt, turmeric, salt, smoked paprika, garam masala, ginger, and garlic. Let it marinate.
  2. Combine flour and Greek yogurt to form the pizza dough. Knead gently until smooth.
  3. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a pizza shape and form a crust edge.
  4. Bake the base for 5 to 7 minutes at 200°C until slightly firm.
  5. Cook the marinated chicken in a pan over medium heat until fully cooked. Set aside.
  6. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté sliced onion until soft.
  7. Add diced tomatoes, spices, and Greek yogurt. Simmer and blend the sauce until smooth.
  8. Stir the cooked chicken into the sauce.
  9. Spread half of the butter chicken mixture over the pizza base.
  10. Top with grated cheese and sliced red onion.
  11. Bake again until the cheese melts and the crust becomes golden.
  12. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Only half of the butter chicken mixture is used for the pizza. Save the rest for another meal.
  • Store bought pizza bases or naan can be used instead of homemade dough.
  • Pre baking the crust helps keep it crisp when adding the sauce.
