Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

- 1 cup store-bought butter chicken sauce
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (12-inch)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and browned.
- Pour the butter chicken sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to combine. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the butter chicken mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with plain yogurt and garnish with chopped cilantro before slicing.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with chickpeas or roasted vegetables and use a vegetarian butter chicken sauce.
- Add toppings like sliced red onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños for extra flavor and crunch.
