Leftover Butter Chicken Pizza With Homemade Yogurt Sauce
This Indian fusion butter chicken pizza with a homemade yogurt sauce comes together in under 25 minutes using leftover butter chicken for an easy, flavorful weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- 425 grams pizza dough
- ½ cup butter chicken sauce leftovers or premade
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
- 6 ounces butter chicken leftovers or premade
- 1 to 2 teaspoons chives sliced
Yogurt Sauce
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 to 2 pinches sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F.Lightly flour a 14-inch round pizza pan and your hands. Stretch the pizza dough out into a circle to fit the pan.
- Top the dough with butter chicken sauce, leaving about a quarter-inch crust around the edges. Then top with the shredded mozzarella and butter chicken. Use a slotted spoon for the chicken so that you don't add too much extra sauce on top of the pizza.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix together the yogurt sauce. Combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl and stir well until thoroughly mixed. Set aside in the fridge.
- Finally, when the pizza is done, top with a drizzle of yogurt sauce and garnish with chives. Serve hot.
Notes
Pizza dough: We always recommend making your own pizza dough, but we know that isn't always possible. If you do want to, check out one of our favorite cookbooks, Flour Water Salt Yeast or Mastering Pizza for a recipe. Otherwise there are some pretty good store-bought pizza doughs; we’d recommend going for something local if possible.
Butter chicken: Make this recipe super simple with leftover butter chicken (whether from takeout or homemade). If you’re really craving this recipe though, you can easily make a fresh batch of our butter chicken recipe too.
Yogurt sauce: This will make more yogurt sauce than you need, but the extra makes a great dip for the crust! We like to serve it on the side for this reason.
Baking: Pizza should always be baked according to the dough you are using. So please follow the instructions for baking your dough. If you don’t have any, use our baking time and temp as a good guideline. Generally pizza likes to be baked hot, just keep an eye on it for when the crust turns a golden brown.
Storing and reheating: Store leftover pizza in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. If you have extra yogurt sauce, drizzle some on fresh after reheating!
