Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- If using a homemade pizza crust, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately 12-14 inches in diameter. For store-bought crust, remove from packaging and place on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
- Spread the remaining sweet chili sauce as a base on the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Distribute the sweet chili-coated chicken evenly across the pizza surface.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, covering most of the surface.
- Arrange sliced red bell pepper pieces on top of the cheese.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.
- Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Crispier Crust: For an extra crispy crust, preheat your pizza stone in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking the pizza. This will help achieve that perfect crunch!
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or even pineapple for a tropical twist. The sweet chili sauce pairs well with a variety of toppings!
- Make It Spicy: If you love heat, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to kick up the spice level.
- Fresh Herbs: Don’t skimp on the cilantro! It adds a fresh burst of flavor that complements the sweetness of the chili sauce beautifully.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve your Sweet Chili Chicken Thai Pizza with a side of Thai-style dipping sauce or a simple salad for a complete meal that’s sure to impress.
