Zutaten

For the Chicken Döner Topping

300 g chicken breast cut into thin strips
1 tbsp yoghurt
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp oil
pinch of salt, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, hot paprika powder, garlic powder, turmeric, ground cumin

For the Pizza Sauce

160 g strained tomatoes (passata)
pinch salt, garlic powder, paprika, basil, oregano, sugar

For the Yoghurt Sauce

110 g Greek yoghurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp water
pinch salt, black pepper, oregano, dried mint

Additional

250 g shredded mozzarella
1 XXL ready-made pizza dough

Methode

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine yogurt, tomato paste, oil, and all spices. Add the chicken strips and mix well until fully coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer for deeper flavor).Cook the chicken in a hot pan until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Cut the chicken thin: this gives authentic döner texture

Cook chicken on high heat: creates better flavor

Add yogurt sauce after baking: keeps it fresh and creamy

Bake on the lowest rack for extra crispy bottom

Prepare the Pizza Sauce

Mix passata with salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, basil, and a pinch of sugar. Stir until combined.

Assemble the Pizza

Preheat oven to 220°C (top & bottom heat).
If possible, place a pizza stone in the oven while preheating. Preheating the stone helps create a crispier bottom crust and more even baking. Pizza stones are inexpensive (usually around 5–15€) and make a big difference in texture.
Roll out the XXL pizza dough onto baking paper. Spread the seasoned tomato sauce evenly over the base. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly on top.
Finish with the remaining mozzarella over the chicken. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (or bake on a tray if you don’t have one). Bake for about 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Prepare the Yogurt Sauce

Mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, water, and spices until smooth and creamy.

Finish

Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce.
Slice and serve immediately.

Serve hot with extra yogurt sauce on the side. Add fresh lettuce, red onions, or tomatoes on top after baking for a true döner-style finish.
