Easy Thai Chicken Pizza


Ingredients:
8 pieces of naan or pita flat bread
2 medium chicken breasts, cooked (season with salt and pepper) or use a rotisserie chicken
2 c shredded mozzerella
1 medium bell pepper, sliced thin (red, orange or yellow)
1/4-1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
fresh cilantro

Peanut sauce:
1/2 c hoisin sauce (found in the asian cooking section of the grocery store)
1/2 c peanut butter
1-2 T fresh ginger, grated
1 T Sriracha hot sauce (adjust to your liking or use another spice/hot sauce you have)
1/3 c hot water

Directions:

1) Prepare the peanut sauce. Combine the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and 1/2 tsp of sriracha sauce in a bowl. Peel the ginger and grate it straight into the bowl. Add about 1/3 cup of hot water and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

2) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chop the chicken into small pieces and transfer to a bowl. Thinly slice the red onion and red bell pepper.


3) Spread about 2 Tbsp of the peanut sauce over each piece of naan or pita bread. Top with about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, a handful of the chicken, some red bell pepper, and red onion.


4) Place the pizzas on a perforated pizza pan, cookie sheet or directly on the oven rack and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 10-15 minutes depending on which method you use). When the pizzas come out of the oven, top with fresh cilantro leaves and enjoy!
