Chicken Tikka Pizza in electric pan is one of the quickest & easiest ways of cooking a pizza. The electric pan is non-stick & so much easier to clean out afterwards. It cooks the pizza in under 10 minutes.

If you do not have an electric pan, the oven will do. But I highly recommend that you invest in one of these electric pans. It’s great for other dishes as well.

There are a variety of toppings that may be used, but my favourite has got to be chicken tikka topping as it is a bit spicy. The word tikka signifies “bits” or “pieces“.

Chicken tikka is a standout amongst the most well known sustenance from South Asia, where it stays well known in India, Bangladesh, & Pakistan. Here we utilize that South Asian most loved & join it with an Italian & American top choice – Pizza!
