Quick Tasty Food: Naan Pizza

I love naan and find it very versatile. My favorite use is to make pizza with it. One single leaf of naan is perfect for a personal pizza and you can top it with anything a normal pizza has. And naan is much healthier than normal dough and (in my opinion) better quality.

Tonight, for example, I made a BBQ Chicken Naan Pizza. The other day I got a rotisserie chicken to eat throughout the week ($6 is a great deal for all the meat you can get off it, just takes patience to rip it to pieces). Take some chicken, mix it with a bit of sauce (tonight I went with a variety of Sriracha, Sweet BBQ, and Light Blue Cheese Dressing). Chop up some veggies that work with the type you're going with (red onions and celery go perfect with BBQ Chicken). Sprinkle a bit of cheese (Italian Five Cheese was great but I used it up on my last naan pizza, so today I went with slices of Swiss that I chopped up to resemble shredded cheese). Bake it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until it's as done as you want (I like it crispy but soft). Voila, you have a naan pizza!

Other varieties:
- Reddit user gamergrl1018 suggested a Martguerita naan pizza with olive oil, garlic, thyme, fresh basil, tomato, and mozzarella
- Cincinnati Chili with oyster crackers and cheddar cheese; can add in onions and beans or chopped up hot dogs
- Hawaiian with pineapple chunks and capicola ham/Canadian bacon; can add on onions
