The BEST Thai Chicken Pizza

Course Main Course
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or sub brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 3 tbsp coconut milk (open up a 14 oz can and use the rest for the peanut sauce below!)
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp red Thai curry paste
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
  • the juice of one lime
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk

Pizza

  • 2 balls store bought pizza dough
  • flour for dusting a work surface
  • 1 yellow pepper, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 large handful bean sprouts (about a cup)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Start the chicken. Combine all of the ingredients for the chicken into a bowl with some salt and pepper. Slice the chicken into strips and marinate in the sauce for 30min minimum or a couple of hours in the fridge if you're not like me and remembered to do that ahead of time.
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the peanut sauce into a bowl and mix well. This sauce is killer with grilled chicken or pork tenderloin, so double batch it if you want to thank yourself later.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat with a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil (a healthy drizzle, is what we call that). Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sautee for about 7 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Preheat the oven to screaming hot, 500F. Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll out each ball of pizza dough to make two pizzas. Spray a pizza pan with a little non-stick (we use coconut oil nonstick spray) and add your dough, nice and even-like. If you don't have a pizza pan, no sweat. Just use a regular cookie sheet and form your dough into a square shape. No one cares, it's equally delicious.
  • Spread some peanut sauce over the pizza (be liberal), top with sliced chicken, red and yellow pepper, sprouts, and shredded cheese. Bake in the oven for about ten minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Sprinkle with the green onion, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. AMAZE.
