Thai Chicken Pizza
Description
The Thai Chicken Pizza recipe uses naan as a pizza base, which provides a soft yet sturdy foundation for the toppings. The pizza is flavored with a homemade peanut sauce made from hoisin sauce, peanut butter, fresh grated ginger, and sriracha, adding a creative sweet, savory, and mildly spicy element. Grilled chicken breast, seasoned simply with salt and pepper and tossed with sriracha, provides a protein layer rich in flavor. The addition of thinly sliced red onion and red bell pepper adds crunch and freshness.
The pizzas are assembled by spreading the peanut sauce on naan, followed by mozzarella, the chili-coated chicken, and vegetables. Baking at a high temperature melts the cheese to a bubbly finish and crisps the naan edges slightly. This method enhances the textures and melds the components well.
This pizza is suitable as a main meal or as a shared appetizer, delivering a fusion of classic Italian pizza concepts with Thai flavor influences. Its balanced but bold ingredients invite serving alone or alongside simple side salads.
Ingredients
- 1 Naan $1.27, batch, 8 pieces
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce $1.74
- 1/2 cup peanut butter $1.05
- 2 inches ginger $0.30, fresh
- sriracha hot sauce $0.52, approx. 2 Tbsp
- 2 chicken breast $1.87, medium
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese $2.47, shredded
- 1 red bell pepper $1.19, medium
- 1 red onion $0.45, small
- 1 cilantro $0.79, bunch fresh
- salt $0.05, to taste
- black pepper $0.05, to taste
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper and cook in a countertop grill until cooked through (about 7 minutes each). Allow the chicken breasts to cool.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. Combine the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and 1/2 tsp of sriracha sauce in a bowl. Peel the ginger and grate it straight into the bowl. Add about 1/3 cup of hot water and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chop the chicken into small pieces and transfer to a bowl. Add enough sriracha sauce to coat the chicken (about 1.5 Tbsp, give or take a little). Thinly slice the red onion and red bell pepper.
- Spread about 2 Tbsp of the peanut sauce over each piece of naan. Top with about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, a handful of the sriracha chicken, some red bell pepper, and red onion.
- Place the pizzas on a perforated pizza pan or directly on the oven rack and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 10 minutes). When the pizzas come out of the oven, top with fresh cilantro leaves and enjoy!
