Prepare chicken for pizza
1. Chicken Tikka pieces
There are a variety of methods to prepare chicken for pizza. The most famous is to take boneless pieces of chicken and add chicken tikka masala, garlic ginger paste, 1 spoon yogurt in it. Fry the pieces after 1 hour and place them at the side to put on the pizza base.
2. Chicken masala pieces
For me, what I prefer is to cook chicken in masala.
Take one chopped onion and let it turn brown in oil on medium heat. Add chicken pieces, garlic ginger paste, salt, pepper and cook it like normal curry until chicken pieces are soft.
Once the chicken salan is ready, then take out chicken pieces. Go shred the chicken pieces and separate meat and bones if you have used chicken meat with bones. Place shredded pieces again in masala and place at side. The chicken masala gives a more filled look and juicy taste to pizza then chicken tikka pieces.
Tip: You can shred, add flavor, and can use left chicken pieces from biryani or chicken karahi for pizza topping.

Tomato 1 chopped
