Grecian Flatbread Pizza

This is a nice and light dinner idea and I think would be nice for a large group of people for munching on during an evening of game playing or movie watching.  It also makes it easy for the host or hostess due to it's pleasing taste and the task of making them wouldn't leave you in the kitchen all evening until after dinner.  But of course this is also a nice quick meal for a night when its just you and your family as well.  Add a simple salad or even better a Greek inspired salad and you can have a night pretending to be near the Mediterreanian!  (Or at least that's what I would be doing).

For this meal I actually grilled up my chicken while I was making another meal this week, which was the chicken and watermelon salad, so that saves me a lot of time and from dirtying another pan.  See if you want to try out both recipes together in a week as well!

Shopping List:
1) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast ( 1/2 lb.)

2) Red Onion

3) Tomato Paste (preferably Italian Style, but if they don't have it just add Italian seasoning to it)

4) Naan Flatbread (in the bakery section) About 1 piece would make a little bigger than a personal pizza, but probably 1 for each person would be MORE than enough

5) 1 Red Pepper

6) Cilantro

7) Seasonings: Paprika, Cumin, Pepper, Crushed Red Pepper, Minced Garlic

8) Greek Plain Yogurt

Optional:
Sprinkling Feta or another type of white cheese on the top of it before baking, add olives
***********************************************************************************
To Begin:
Preheat oven to 400

Start by Grilling Chicken if you have not already done so, just seasoning is with salt and pepper.
Place to the side on a plate once done. (about 4-5 minutes on each side)

In a blender blend together 2/3 cup of diced red pepper, 2/3 cup fresh cilantro, 1/2 diced red onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons cumin and paprika, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon water, Can of tomato paste, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.  Blend until smooth.

Place naan bread on baking sheets, spread the tomato sauce over the bread.

Dice up chicken, mix chicken with about 1/2 a cup of greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive oil and about 1/3 cup chopped cilantro.  Place on naan.

Sprinkle on cheese if desired.

Bake for about 10 minutes!
