Cooking Instructions and Tips

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

c) Once hot, add the diced chicken and sliced mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until browned, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

a) While the chicken and mushrooms fry, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Grate the Cheddar cheese.

c) Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min, then remove from the heat.

a) Pop the naans onto a large baking tray.

b) Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top of each naan, leaving a 1cm border around the edge.

c) Arrange the garlic chicken and mushrooms on top.

d) Scatter over the grated cheese.

a) When the oven is hot, bake the naanizzas on the top shelf until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the base is crisp, 8-10 mins.

a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks and pop into a medium bowl with a drizzle of oil.

b) Season with salt and pepper, mix together, then set aside.

a) When ready, transfer the naanizzas to your serving plates.

b) Drizzle over the pesto.

c) Toss the baby leaves in the bowl of tomatoes and serve on the side. Finish by drizzling the balsamic glaze over the salad.

Enjoy!
