Chicken Tikka Pizzas

14.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbs cream (or milk, but cream is better)
2-3 c cooked, diced chicken
pita or naan bread
thinly sliced red onion
1-2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro


Move the oven rack to it's 4-6 inches from the broiler, preheat broiler.

Blend the tomatoes until fairly smooth.  Heat the olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.  Add the ginger, red pepper, curry powder, and cumin.  Stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.  Add the tomatoes and salt and simmer for 3-4 minutes.  Stir in the cream and add additional salt and pepper to taste.  Stir in the chicken and heat through.

Top each naan bread with 1/2 c or so of the sauce/chicken mixture, thin slices of onion, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese (extra sauce can make it soggy, so be careful!).

Broil until the cheese is melted and starting to brown lightly in spots, 2-3 minutes.  They'll cook fast, so watch them!

Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately!
