Chicken, Pesto, Artichoke, and Feta Pizza
These mini naan pizzas loaded with pesto, chicken, artichoke, and feta are my new favorite quick weeknight meal.
They say less is more, but when it comes to pizza, they’re definitely wrong. When it’s up to me to get the pizza, more is always more. I cannot comprehend the decision to order a plain cheese pizza. What is this treachery? When I get a pizza, I want it loaded. I’m a supreme girl all the way (minus the olives–I still can’t, guys). And if there are specialty flavors with all kinds of unusual toppings? Even better. Bring on the toppings, baby!
I love loaded pizzas so much, I had trouble naming this one because it’s piled with so many great things. I bypassed the red sauce in favor of pesto, then stacked up the mozzarella, chunks of chicken, artichoke, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and feta. You might think all those toppings would be obnoxious, but they actually work together to create the ultimate tangy-creamy-salty-melty-best-pizza-ever explosion of flavor.
Still, I know some of you might not be more-is-more kind of people when it comes to your pizza. That’s why these individual sized naan pizzas are perfect. The Mr. spotted these on our first CostCo trip, and they’ve become a staple since then. They are great for customizing just the right pizza to each person’s taste. Your husband can’t stand artichokes? Leave them off. The toddler turns his nose up mushrooms? No worries. Got a vegetarian coming to the dinner party? Skip the chicken. More feta for you? You’re my kinda people.
You certainly don’t have to use mini naans for this recipe. Feel free to use full size naan, your own favorite homemade pizza dough recipe, or refrigerated dough. Just make sure to preheat your pizza stone in a hot oven to ensure a super crispy crust!
Because these pizzas will look very different depending on how many you make and what amount of toppings everyone prefers, I haven’t included quantities in the recipe below. I hope this frees you up to experiment and customize to your family’s tastes. Now go forth and make your best pizza!

If Herbed Chicken is your thing, it pays to have some homemade chicken seasoning around, so you can have Air Fryer Chicken Thighs whenever you want!
Or stick with Mediterranean flavors by first making my Homemade Italian Dressing recipe. Then you’re only minutes from some delicious grilled Italian Dressing Chicken.
For a spicier grilled chicken encounter, try my Mexican Chicken Marinade, or my chipotle pepper Spicy Chicken Marinade.
Oh. My. Gosh!!! These were absolutely delicious!! I got mini naan as an impulse buy at Costco, as well as some rotisserie chicken. Had marinated artichokes and pesto, some of that amazing pecorino-Romano & fresh tomatoes too…I made a few using sun-dried tomato spread in place of pesto. These were unbelievably tasty!! Very Mediterranean! The best discovery was using naan as “pizza” what a revelation! My husband told me to “put this in the rotation” so that’s a ringing endorsement!! Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!!
So glad you enjoyed them! We use naan for pizza a lot! It’s one of our favorite shortcuts!
