It’s time to explore a new fruit pizza topping: Mango!

If you love exploring new pizza topping ideas and combinations, then you’ve got to try this recipe.

I find a pizza crust to be the perfect palette for experimenting with new and interesting toppings and sauces. Thinking outside of the box (and beyond borders) when it comes to pizza flavors usually leads to something delicious.

Here’s why I love this pizza:

• Ready-made crust: This pizza uses naan bread as a crust (I’ve posted several other alternative pizza crust ideas before). There’s no reason why you need to make homemade pizza crust from scratch (with flour, water, yeast, etc.) – when you can use a delicious, ready-made bread-based vessel like naan bread, English muffins, pita bread, etc.
• Creative toppings: This recipe incorporates one of my new favorite flavor combinations (see mango habanero chicken chili and these mango chicken wontons)

The Cost

• Naan bread (4 pieces) = $4 (I bought a bag of 5 frozen naan breads for $5)
• Rotisserie chicken (1/4 white) = $2.99
• Mango = $.99
• Cheese = $1.75
• Honey and curry = $.60

Total cost for entire recipe: $10.33
Total cost per pizza: $2.58

This pizza would be even cheaper if you cook your own chicken at home. I opted to use rotisserie chicken, just for the convenience factor.

Alternative Pizza Crust Options

The best part of using naan bread (or other alternative crust) to make pizza? You easily make homemade pizza any time without having to make crust from scratch. With a ready-made crust (like naan bread, pita bread or a tortilla), we’re talking 15 minutes start to finish. Gotta love that.

Mango Chicken Naan Bread Pizza Recipe

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Use any type of prepared naan bread for this recipe: either frozen or refrigerated varieties are fine. I have never made naan bread pizza with fresh-made naan bread, but I imagine it would work just fine for this recipe.
