Family Friendly
Omit the raw red onion and coriander as garnishes if your children don’t like punchy toppings.
Cook’s tips:
You can air-fry the chicken at 180 °C for 6–7 minutes, or until just cooked through. Turn them over halfway through the cooking time.
For extra-crispy bases, put your baking sheets in the oven to heat before you slide the pizzas onto them.
Method
-
1. First prepare the chicken. Place a chicken breast on a board and, with your knife held parallel to the board, slice it in half horizontally and lengthways to make two thin ‘leaves’. Repeat with the other breasts.
-
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, lemon juice and 2 Tbsp (30ml) of the powder from the sachet of Royco® Butter Chicken Curry Dry Cook-In Sauce.
-
3. Spread the flavoured oil over both sides of the chicken. Heat a non-stick pan and fry the chicken for about 3 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. If the chicken sticks, add a little more oil. You can also air-fry the chicken (see Cook’s tips, below).
-
4. Remove from the heat and cut into cubes or strips.
-
5. Heat your oven to 210 °C.
-
6. Tip the contents of the sachet of Royco® Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce into the same bowl you mixed the oil in and whisk in the remaining Royco® Butter Chicken Curry Dry Cook-In Sauce powder.
-
7 Spread a generous layer of the sauce over each pizza base and top with grated cheese.
-
8 Scatter the chicken cubes and half of the red onion slices on top.
-
9 Slide the pizzas onto baking sheets and bake at 210 °C for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling.
-
10 Top with the remaining raw red onion slices and fresh coriander leaves, and serve immediately.
