Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ball (12-inch crust) Pizza dough
- 1 piece (approximately 6 ounces), shredded Cooked chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 small, julienned Carrot
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onion
- 1 handful, roughly chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Chopped peanuts
- 2 pieces (for serving) Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Sriracha until smooth. This will be your peanut sauce.
Roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the peanut sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Top the pizza with shredded cooked chicken in an even layer.
Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top the pizza with julienned carrots, bean sprouts, sliced green onions, cilantro leaves, and chopped peanuts for garnish.
Slice the pizza into pieces and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
