Thai Chicken Pizza With Sweet Chili Sauce image

I am not a huge fan of the peanut sauce that most Thai pizzas tend to use as a base, but love a small amount of peanutty flavor mixed with the sweetness of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, so I came up with this pizza-pie!

Time 20m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pizza crust (I used 1/3 of my Pizza Dough Perfection)
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4-1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (mae ploy)
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup Italian cheese blend
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/8 cup broccoli floret (blanched)
1/8 cup green onion, thinly sliced on bias
1/8 cup carrot, thinly sliced on bias (or you can julienne or grate it)
1/8 cup red bell pepper, julienned (or small dice)
1/4-1/2 cup chicken breast (cooked and sliced very thinly, I used a bit of Peanut Sauce Peanut Sauce brushed on before roastin)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cilantro, whole leaves (or minced if you prefer)
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (siracha (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven and pizza stone to 550* (or as high as your oven will go, may only be 500*).
  • Prepare your dough to top. You can prebake your crust for a minute or two after brushing with olive oil, or you can do as I do and just top the dough since I bake at such a high heat.
  • Brush crust with olive oil. Spread on Thai Sweet Chili Sauce as thick or thinly as you like. (It is very sweet with just a hint of heat, I happen to love sweet and savory together, so I use a lot and add a pinch or two or crushed chili flakes).
  • Layer on italian cheese and half of the cheddar. Add veggies, chicken, remaining cheddar. Sprinkle on sesame seeds allowing some to get on the untopped crust as well.
  • Working quickly so as not to let the oven temperature drop, transfer pizza to pizza stone using a pizza peel, cookie sheet, or parchment paper.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes depending on the amount of toppings you added and how done you like your crust. If you have never baked a pizza at this high of heat before, you should DEFINITELY watch it like a hawk the first few times so you don't burn it. I have been told (and agree) that the high heat gives you more of a pizzaria-style pie!
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for a minute. Drizzle with siracha and sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
