Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thigh
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces lime wedges
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
In the same skillet, add coconut milk and red curry paste. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken, shred it into small pieces, and set aside.
Lightly dust a clean surface with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Carefully transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.
Spread 3 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then distribute the shredded chicken evenly on top.
Add the sliced red onion and red bell pepper, arranging them evenly over the pizza.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the pizza.
