Grilled Chicken Margherita Pizza
Sometimes a girl just needs to have a pizza, ya know!
For whatever reason, probably because I am about to go to Miami and my body says… “oh now would be a good time to crave fatty bo batty foods”… I have been craving pizza.
Pizza from anywhere really, just as long as it has dough cooked to perfection and then covered in cheese I’ll be good!
Do you ever have those cravings?
Every once in a while I will get them, usually I’m ok with pushing them off. Out of site out of mind. But this pizza craving has been pushed off long enough. It was time to make my own and face plant hardcore in all the deliciousness that is this Grilled Chicken Margherita pizza!
Usually I will make my own whole wheat pizza dough, but I have been loving 1.) not making the dough and 2.) whole wheat naan.
Have you ever had naan?
If not, get in your car and go to the store now. It is life changing! For reals! I could probably just sit and eat this stuff with hummus all day long.
In todays recipe though, the whole wheat naan is our pizza dough.
One of my favorite ways to eat pizza is Margherita style… aka… no sauce just olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, and basil. It lets the pizza shine instead of just tasting tomato sauce.
Which, by the way, makes this recipe ridiculously easy because all you have to do is prep the chicken and tomatoes and your good to go. Oh, remember the other day where I said I was obsessed with roasted tomatoes… yeah.. here is another recipe with them in it… told you! 🙂
Alright, now check out this recipe, make your shopping list and go make this pizza! NoW! 🙂 {I say that in the nicest yet firmest way possible!}
