Instructions

Marinade

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together yogurt, spices, and lemon juice. Add cut chicken pieces and combine well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.

Sauce

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large skillet or sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring often.

Step 3

Pour in tomato sauce and add garam masala, paprika, and salt. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and stir in heavy cream.

Chicken

Step 4

While the sauce simmers, cook the chicken. Preheat broiler and place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Place chicken pieces on top of the rack and broil for about 8 minutes.

Pizza

Step 5

Stretch the refrigerated pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Spread on the prepared sauce. Top evenly with grated cheese. Arrange the chicken pieces, sliced onion, and cilantro on top of the pizza. Drizzle some additional sauce over the top of everything if desired.

Step 6

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until the crust is golden. After cooling for a few minutes, remove the pizza from the pan and cut into slices.
