Thai Chicken Pizza with Peanut Butter Sauce

Thai Chicken Pizza with Peanut Butter Sauce One of the great things about pizza is that you can put just about anything on it and it’s always delicious. Always.
If you’ve never had Thai food you might not think this combination of flavors works. But it does in a very big way. It’s a great change from traditional Italian style pizza.


I used a gluten-free pizza crust recipe from Angela’s Kitchen.* If you’re on a gluten-free diet, give this crust a whirl. It’s easy to make and has a crisp edge. And If you don’t need to eat gluten-free, use your favorite pizza crust.

Ingredients

1 gluten-free pizza crust 


For the sauce 

1/4 cup plus one tbsp. water 

1/4 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Old Fashioned Smooth

1 tbsp. gluten-free soy sauce 

1 tsp. rice wine vinegar 

1 tsp. freshly grated ginger 

1 clove garlic, grated or minced 

1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 

For the toppings 

1 1/2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil 

5 ounces chicken breast 

1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided 

1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thinly 

2 green onions, sliced thinly 

1/4 cup shredded carrots 

2 tbsp. freshly shredded basil leaves 

2 tbsp. cilantro leaves 

Directions

  1. Prepare the pizza crust according to the recipe or package directions. If using a gluten-free pizza crust, it usually requires that the crust is baked for 8-10 minutes before adding the toppings. Preheat the oven to 400°F. 

  2. Make the sauce by stirring together the water, Peanut Butter & Co. Old Fashioned Smooth, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside. 

  3. Bake the pizza dough for 8-10 minutes. 

  4. Slice the chicken breast thinly. Cut the strips into small 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter sauce. Toss to coat. 

  5. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and saute until cooked through, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from pan onto paper towels to drain. 

  6. Put the desired amount of sauce on the pizza crust. Top with 3/4 of the cheese. Spread cooked chicken over pizza, then top with red bell pepper. Cover with remaining cheese. Finish by spreading green onion and shredded carrot over the top of the pizza. 

  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly browned around the edges. Remove from oven and let sit for several minutes before slicing.
