Method
 

Gluten Free Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza in Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Pamela's Pizza Crust Mix with the packet of active dry yeast. Add the very warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let it rest for about 30 minutes while you prepare the chicken tikka masala.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the diced chicken, Greek yogurt, and garam masala. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes — this helps to infuse the flavors.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper, stirring until fragrant. Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza stone.
  5. Spread the chicken tikka masala evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top.
  6. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh minced cilantro. Slice it up and enjoy your Gluten Free Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza while it's hot!

Notes

  • Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
  • For longer storage, freeze the pizza by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
