- 1 Tbls. fresh lemon juice
- 1-1/2 t. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1 Tbls. fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place naan on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
BUILD PIZZAS: Brush naan with olive oil.
Spread 2–3 tablespoons tzatziki on each naan (avoid over-saucing to prevent sogginess).
Layer chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and bell peppers evenly.
Sprinkle feta and mozzarella on top.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese melts and edges crisp. For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh dill, a lemon squeeze, and a drizzle of tzatziki (if desired).
Before serving, place a few fresh basil leaves over top. Slice and enjoy immediately!
HOMEMADE TZATSIKI SAUCE: Slice cucumber in half lengthwise. Scoop seeds out with a spoon and grate into a bowl lined with paper towels or cheese cloth. Press cucumber to release as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine diced cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, dill and mint, if using. Chill until ready to use.
NOTE: Each Naan will serve 2 people
