Equipment

Large sheet pan (15" x 21")

Ingredients

1 (8.8-ounce) package naan I like original Stonefire Naan (2 breads in a package)
1 teaspoon olive oil divided, plus additional oil for serving if desired
1/2 cup pizza sauce I like Rao’s Margherita Pizza Sauce or Rao’s Marinara or Muir Glen fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
3 ounces mozzarella cheese very thinly sliced, 2/3 cup
1 cup rotisserie chicken or other prepared leftover chicken
3/4 cup bell pepper slices red and orange, or just use 1 bell pepper!
1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
Small basil leaves optional
Salt optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. While the oven is heating, line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner (don’t use wax paper or tin foil). Lining the pan is important so the naan doesn’t get too crisp on bottom. Set both naans on the lined sheet. Lightly drizzle the naans with olive oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per naan). Bake in the oven for 2 minutes, then remove. This will keep the naan from getting soggy!
Very thinly slice the peppers and red onion. Chop the chicken into small pieces.
While naans are baking, thinly slice the mozzarella. Pull the naan out of the oven after 2 minutes and spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly on each naan, leaving about 1/2-inch of crust around the outside.
Divide sliced mozzarella cheese evenly between the naans, arranging over the sauce and pressing in gently. Dividing evenly between the 2 pizzas, top each with peppers, chicken, and red onion slices. Press these toppings in very gently. Return pizzas to the oven for 7–9 minutes, or until cheese is melted and veggies are crisp tender.
Remove and allow to cool for 1 minute. If desired, drizzle each pizza with another 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, then top with shredded basil and a few sprinkles of salt if desired. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut into slices and enjoy immediately.

Notes

There are endless ways to make Flatbread Pizza! Here are some ideas:

Margherita Pizza: Top naan with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and thinly sliced garden-fresh tomatoes. Top with fresh basil when you take it out of the oven.
Meat Lovers: Add bacon, sausage, pepperoni, ham, etc. on top of your sauce (try Alfredo sauce instead) and cheese.
Veggie Packed: Add a variety of veggies on top of your flatbread pizzas. Try mushrooms, artichokes, zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, olives, fresh corn, spinach, arugula, etc.
Add sauce: Drizzle on some fresh basil-pesto, BBQ sauce, ranch, buffalo sauce, etc.
Make garlic bread: Throw on some butter, cheese, garlic, and salt, or use garlic naan as the base (instead of plain naan).
Change your cheese: Try a different cheese or a combination of a few types of cheeses.

Storage: Store leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F until warm and crisp. Avoid the microwave—it makes the crust soft.
