Skip the pizza dough and reach for the naan! To make, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread 2 tbsp tzatziki over 2 naans, and top each with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 red pepper cut into strips, and sliced chicken from 1 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast. Drizzle each pizza with olive oil and remaining mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Pop in the oven for 8 mins and finish with green onions.
