Instructions
- Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan over med. heat. Bring the sauce to a boil; boil gently for one minute. Divide into 2 portions for use on chicken and pizza; set aside. To make Thai chicken Cook the chicken in olive oil over med-high heat, stirring, until just cooked; 5 to 6 minutes do not overcook. Set aside in refrigerator until chilled through. Once chilled, coat the chicken with 1/4 cup sauce. Set aside in refrigerator. To make the pizza Use a large spoon to spread 1/4 cup sauce evenly over pizza dough within the rim. Cover sauce with 3/4 cup cheese. Distribute half the chicken pieces over the cheese followed by half the green onions, bean sprouts, and carrots, respectively. Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup cheese over the toppings and top the pizza with 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts. Transfer the pizza to oven; bake until crisp and golden and the cheese is bubbly, 9 to 10 min. When cooked through, remove pizza from oven. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro over the hot cheesy surface. Repeat with remaining ingredients for a second pizza.

Delicious! We made it last night. We halved the recipe and for our pizzas (which we use 8 oz of dough we got at Trader Joes) we had enough for two. Rich, flavorful sauce. We have an outdoor Bertello pizza oven that gets to 900 degrees, and it cooked great in that. Thanks for a wonderful recipe. Oh, we did add 1 tsp of minced garlic to the sauce as we love garlic.)
