Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Tandoori Chicken

  • 1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 4 tablespoons tandoori masala spice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

Ingredients for Pizza

  • 1 gluten-free pizza crust
  • 2 cups cooked tandoori chicken chopped (from the recipe above)
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic sauce for drizzling
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fat-free plain yogurt, fresh lemon juice, tandoori masala spice, and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients together into smooth marinade.
  • Add the 1-inch pieces of chicken to the marinade. Ensure that all pieces are evenly coated.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will become.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Add a small amount of olive oil to a cast iron skillet. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer on the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will allow for even cooking.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be firm to the touch and no longer pink inside.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces for the pizza.

Directions for Tandoori Pizza

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If your pizza crust instructions recommend a different temperature, follow those instructions.
  • Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Spread half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza crust. This base layer of cheese will help the other toppings adhere better.
  • Distribute the chopped tandoori chicken evenly over the cheese.
  • Scatter the sliced green bell pepper and diced red onion over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
  • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.
  • Drizzle the garlic sauce evenly over the top of the pizza.
  • Slice the tandoori chicken pizza into desired portions and serve immediately.
