Description
A vibrant Thai-inspired pizza topped with sweet chili sauce, tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and quick-pickled onions for a bright, flavorful twist on classic pizza night.
Ingredients
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 (12-inch) pizza dough
Olive oil
1/3–1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 1/2 cups mozzarella, divided
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
1/2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, shredded
1/4–1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone inside if using.
- In a bowl, combine sliced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally to quick-pickle.
- Lightly flour a sheet of parchment and roll pizza dough to 12 inches.
- Rub about 1 tbsp olive oil over the dough, especially the edges.
- Slide dough on parchment into the oven for 1 minute. Remove parchment and dough and return to the counter.
- Spread sweet chili sauce over the dough. Top with 1 cup mozzarella.
- Add chicken, zucchini slices, and shredded carrot.
- Drain pickled onions and scatter over the pizza.
- Return pizza (on parchment) to oven or stone and bake about 8 minutes, until cheese melts and carrots begin to brown.
- Finish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
Notes
Add chili crisp to sweet chili sauce for heat.
Substitute shrimp for chicken.
Top with crushed peanuts for a Pad Thai touch.
Use a mozzarella–Monterey Jack blend for extra melt.
