Thai Chicken Pizza



Who doesn't love pizza?! I was looking for pizza recipes at work yesterday and stumbled across several recipes for Thai Chicken Pizza. However, I didn't like everything that was in any of them. So, I decided to make my own recipe. I must admit that when I looked at the pizza right as I was getting ready to put it in the oven I was not sure how it was going to turn out. However, once it was done and I tried it...I LOVED it! It has so much flavor and it pretty healthy with all of the fresh veggies that it has, and minimal sauce.

Once your veggies are all cut and your dough is ready, it only takes about 15-20 minutes to cook. I highly suggest that if you are looking at leaving out some of the ingredients that you don't. The sprouts and snow peas make is amazing! It was perfect and so flavorful. For those of you who know me, you know that I salt and pepper EVERYTHING. I did not need to add either to this meal.

Thai Chicken Pizza
Pizza Crust (for 12" pizza)
2 chicken breasts (cut into small pieces)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger root (cut into small pieces)
1/2 cup peanut sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fresh snow peas
1/4 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
1/4 cup carrots (thinly sliced)
2 green onions (sliced)
1/4 cup (or more if you like) peanuts (crushed)
1/4 cup fresh bean sprouts (more if you like them like I do)


Cut fresh veggies while dough is rising.


Cook diced chicken in pan with oil and ginger root until chicken is done.

Flatten dough for crust on pan and spread peanut sauce over crust. Add the chicken and ginger mixture to the top

Spread pepper, carrots, snow peas, onion, and sprouts on top.

Then add the crushed peanuts and cover with the shredded cheese.

Place in the oven on the lowest rack and bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until cheese in melted and crust appears done.
