Preparation

Step 1

To Make Spicy Peanut Sauce:
Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a boil gently for one minute. Divide into two portions for use on chicken and pizza; set aside.

TO MAKE Thai Chicken:
Cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-hi heat, stirring, until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside in fridge until chilled through. Once chilled, coat the chicken with ¼ cup Spicy peanut sauce. Set aside in fridge.

TO MAKE Pizza:
Use a large wooden spoon to spread peanut sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Cover the sauce with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.
Distribute half the chicken pieces over the cheese followed by half the green onions, sprouts and carrots, respectively. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup shredded mozzarella over the other toppings and top the pizza with 1 TBSP chopped roasted peanuts.
Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 9 to 10 minutes. When cooked through, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with 1 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro over the hot, cheesy surface. Slice and serve.
