Grilled Thai Chicken Pizza
Pizza is one of those things that can traverse cuisines – you have Mexican pizza, Thai pizza, Hawaiian pizza … I’ve even seen Cuban pizza (as in a Cuban sandwich with mustard, pork, and pickles on it). Today, I’m offering up a Grilled Thai Chicken Pizza recipe – it’s delicious, it’s pretty simple, and it’s the best of two worlds. Plus, it’s made on the grill, which is an awesome way to make pizza, if you haven’t yet tried that.
This pizza starts with a pre-made gluten-free pizza crust of your choosing, then it’s topped with chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken, diced) that’s been drenched in a savory-sweet Thai sauce made of soy sauce and rice vinegar (from Kikkoman), peanut butter, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce. Grill it, then top it with shredded carrots, cilantro, and chopped peanuts – wow! You’re going to love this one.
If you’re nut-free, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter and omit the chopped peanuts at the end. If you’re dairy-free, swap the mozzarella cheese with a dairy-free alternative that melts well.
