Mediterranean Flatbread Pizza | Go Mediterranean with this flavor packed naan bread pizza. Grill the chicken and zucchini and then top naan bread with mozzarella and feta cheese, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, pickled red onions, fresh herbs, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Any time I make pizza, I happen to believe it'll be great as long as I use delicious, fresh toppings. For this Mediterranean Naan Bread Pizza, I used extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, mozzarella and feta cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, green olives stuff with jalapeno, homemade pickled red onions, grilled chicken and zucchini (feel free to leave out the chicken for a fabulous vegetarian pizza!), and then I topped it with fresh herbs - oregano and basil - right from my garden.
Making Homemade Pizza
You can go the longer route and make my Quick Homemade Pizza Dough. If you do that, don't forget to make my 5-minute pizza sauce - it's so easy but has such a big payoff on flavor. This is a winning combo to me!
This Potato Pizza is one of my favorite pizza creations.
Shortcuts for Pizza
But recently I've been into trying some shortcut pizzas. Out at my cabin, homemade pizza can be a bit more difficult to take on. And I want to spend my time outdoors and doing other things right now. So shortcut pizza is my latest experiment.
A few weeks ago I was on a Mexican inspired food kick and decided to pair my two loves, and let me just tell you that :
Mexican Inspired Food + Pizza = Heart eyes emoji.
If you think you might agree, then try this Mexican Street Corn Flatbread Pizza. Then post a pic on Instagram with heart eyes emoji in your caption and tag me @pipercooksblog - I'd love to see!
Do the same when you make this Mediterranean Naan Bread Pizza - I'd be thrilled to see that too.
How to Make Mediterranean Naan Bread Pizza
Start with grilling the chicken and zucchini on the bbq or a grill pan. Drizzle the chicken with olive and then season with the Za'atar. Do the same with the zucchini.
Grill the chicken for about 6 minutes or until cooked and at an internal temperature or 165°F. Grill zucchini for about 5 minutes.
Once those are both done, get your naan breads ready.
