Thai Chicken Pizza - Instructions:

Hey ladies - You'll want to thaw the chicken completely and grill the chicken on medium heat until cooked through. Slice into thin strips and set aside.

Top the pizza crust with the sauce, red peppers, cheese and scallions. Bake in the oven at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until cheese in bubbly. Remove from oven and top with sliced chicken, cilantro and chopped peanuts. ENJOY!

OTHER OPTIONAL TOPPING: (which I didn't include b/c they wouldn't freeze well) is a peeled, seeded cucumber sliced thin into matchsticks that you have soaked in a mixture of 2 TBL honey and 2 TBL cider vinegar for 10 minutes. Drain and sprinkle on top of pizza. If you can plan ahead and purchase a cucumber to add, it's worth it. It's DELICIOUS!

Here is the full recipe if you ever want to make it yourself:

1 pizza dough, any brand
1/2 cup duck sauce or plum sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 package (2 cups) shredded provolone or Monterey Jack
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 rounded tablespoonful peanut butter
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning) eyeball it
4 chicken breast cutlets, 1/2 pound
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/4 seedless cucumber, peeled and cut into matchsticks
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup bean spouts, a couple of handfuls
Palm full cilantro leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped peanuts, 2 ounces

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Form pizza crust on pizza pan or cookie sheet. Top with duck or plum sauce - spread it around like you would pizza sauce. Sprinkle the pizza with some crushed red pepper flakes then top with cheese and peppers. Bake until golden and bubbly, 15 to 17 minutes.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine vegetable oil, soy sauce and peanut butter with hot sauce and grill seasoning. Use the microwave to loosen up peanut butter if it is too cold to blend into sauce, 10 seconds ought to do it. Add chicken and coat evenly with mixture. Let stand 10 minutes then grill chicken cutlets 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until firm. Slice chicken into very thin strips.

While chicken cooks, mix honey and vinegar and add the cucumber. Turn to coat evenly.
Top the hot, cooked pizza with chicken, scallions, sprouts and cilantro. Drain cucumbers and scatter over the pizza. Garnish pizza with peanuts, cut into 8 wedges and serve.
