What is caprese?

One of my favorite things to make is a simple Caprese salad. It’s made by layering a slice of fresh tomato, a slice of fresh mozzarella, and a fresh basil leaf. Then top with a bit of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It’s amazingly, easy, yet so completely delicious!

Naan Bread Pizza

When making pizza at home, I really love using Naan bread. Naan is an Indian-style Tandoori flatbread,and is becoming a staple at many grocery stores. If you’re not able to find Naan at your local store, feel free to use a basic pizza crust, or another type of pre-made pizza crust. The Naan is great to work with, as it holds up well with lots of toppings, but still has a nice crisp texture when baked.

How to Make Chicken Caprese Pizza

This Chicken Caprese Pizza is quite simple to make. You’ll want to make sure you have shredded chicken on hand. You can use rotisserie chicken or even grilled chicken if you’d like.

Brushed the Naan with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Add the chicken, fresh mozzarella, and sliced tomatoes.
Bake the pizzas for 10-12 minutes.
While the pizzas bake, make a balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, add the ½ c. of balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring often. Liquid will reduce by half. Set aside.

Then top with some fresh basil leaves, and a balsamic reduction to mimic that wonderful Caprese flavor.

What type of tomato is best? You can use any type of tomato you prefer. I picked up a package of tri-color grape tomatoes, and they worked beautifully! I’ve also used sliced Romas, and even heirloom tomatoes, which look really pretty!
