Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½” cubes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasonings
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (for sauce)
  • ½ Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ large red onion, sliced into ¼” strips
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp Italian seasonings
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • ½ cup whole or 2% milk
  • 5–6 cloves roasted garlic, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (for flatbreads)
  • 4 naan breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers, drained
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season cubed chicken with Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked. Set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter with ½ Tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat. Add red onion, garlic, and Italian seasonings. Sauté until onions soften, then remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining butter to skillet, stir in flour, and cook 2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken stock, milk, roasted garlic, salt, and pepper. Simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened slightly.
  4. Stir in Parmesan and cream until smooth. Return sautéed onions to sauce and simmer a few minutes more.
  5. Brush naan with olive oil and grill 1–2 minutes per side until lightly crisp.
  6. Spread sauce over naan, then top with chicken, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and basil.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for steak, rotisserie chicken, or keep it vegetarian with mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach.
  • Try different sauces such as pesto or marinara for variety.
  • Roast garlic by cutting the top off a bulb, drizzling with olive oil, wrapping in foil, and roasting at 400°F for 35–40 minutes.
  • Use pita bread if naan isn’t available.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños for heat.
