[[Processed meat leads to an early death|Following the recent scare over processed meat]], I felt less inclined to use [[chorizo sausages]] for our regular homemade [[pizza]] so I thought I would use fresh chicken breasts and flavour them with a pseudo-tandoori flavouring instead. This does take quite a while to prepare, but only takes a few minutes of your time over a long period. If you want to cheat even more, then use a packet of pre cooked tandoori chicken that most supermarkets sell. Of course if you want to go the whole-hog, you can make everything from scratch with this [[chicken tikka|chicken tikka recipe]].

I would normally skewer and grill the chicken as the pieces are too small to sit over the grid on a grill pan but as the [[skewers]] could not be found at the last minute I pan fried the chicken instead. Just cook on a high heat until most of the liquid cooks off.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Cook the chicken whichever way you please: skewered and [[grilled]] or [[barbecued]] or even pan fried, picking the chicken pieces out of the marinade leaving some of the marinade on the chicken, most of it will cook off. 
|''Pan fried tandoori chicken''
| Make 1 [[Pizza|pizza]] per person
| Dust your work surface with [[Fine yellow cornmeal|fine yellow cornmeal]]
| Divide the [[Pizza dough|pizza dough]] into two and roll out into two thin 25.5 cm (10 inch) [[Pizzas|pizzas]]
| You can leave them in a warm place for an hour or so to rise. I quite like them cooked immediately they are rolled out for a more crispy finish.
| Prick the pizza all over with a fork. This prevents it puffing up too much and burning while it is cooking
| With a deft move, slide the pizza from the [[Pizza peel|pizza peel]], on to the preheated [[Pizza stone|pizza stone]].
| Cook on one side only for about 2 minutes or until lightly [[Browned|browned]].
| Repeat for the other side.
| Remove from the [[Oven|oven]] and add the cooked chicken, [[mozzarella]], [[tomatoes]], a few [[onion]] rings and a drizzle of olive oil.
| Return to the [[Oven|oven]] and cook until the cheese is nicely melted.
| Repeat for the second [[Pizza|pizza]] whilst you prepare the first.
| Keep the first [[Pizza|pizza]] warm at the bottom of the [[Oven|oven]] whilst you make the second.
