Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 piece (about 8 oz) Chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded carrots
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 2 stalks (sliced) Green onion
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and lightly grease a pizza stone or a baking sheet.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your preferred shape. Transfer the dough to the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water, then stir it into the hoisin sauce mixture. Heat the sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spread the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with the shredded chicken, shredded carrots, and red bell pepper slices. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro (if using).
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chinese Chicken Pizza!
