Grill the naan

  2. Top each naan with BBQ chicken, mozzarella, and red onion.
  3. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, until the cheese melts and the bottom is crispy.

  1. Top with fresh cilantro.
  2. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
  3. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: use medium heat and watch closely at the 5-minute mark so the bottom turns crisp without scorching the naan. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days; reheat in a hot skillet or toaster oven until warmed through. Freezing isn’t recommended for the best naan texture. Dietary swap: use low-fat or part-skim mozzarella to reduce calories while keeping the melt.
