Ingredients

  • 4 pieces naan bread
  • ½ pound chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (substitute canola, vegetable or avocado oil)
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small sweet potato peeled and diced
  • ¼ red onion sliced
  • ½ cup cashews
  • 8 ounces fresh mozarella sliced thin
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Marinade:

Yellow Curry Sauce:

Instructions

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the chicken. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet (or non-stick skillet) over medium heat and cook the chicken 5-7 minutes per side for thighs, 8-10 minutes for breasts, until browned and cooked through. Internal temperature should be 165F when done
  • Remove from heat, let cool and chop into bite sized pieces.
  • While the chicken is cooling, pour the coconut milk, salt and curry paste into a sauce pan and heat to boiling to make the Thai yellow curry sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add the diced sweet potato to the skillet and cook on medium until lightly browned and caramelized, about 7 minutes.
  • Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread a layer sauce (about 2 heaping tablespoons) over each flatbread.
  • Add the sliced chicken, sweet potato, red peppers, sliced onions and cashews.
  • Slice the mozzarella into thin slices and place 2-3 slices on each flatbread. Drizzle each flatbread with about 1 tablespoon of the sauce.
  • Bake the flatbread for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to lightly brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Cut it using a pizza cutter and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with extra sauce for dipping if desired.

Yellow Curry Sauce:

  • While the chicken is cooling, pour the coconut milk, salt and curry paste into a sauce pan and heat to boiling to make the Thai yellow curry sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.

Notes

  2. Substitute green or red curry for the yellow if desired.
  3. For extra spice, dice a Thai chili and sprinkle on top of the pizza.
