- The peanut sauce is too thick.
- Thin it with warm water or coconut milk until spreadable.
- Can I bake the cilantro?
- No! It will turn black and lose its fresh citrusy flavor. Always add at the end.
Thai Peanut Chicken Pizza
This pizza is a culinary trip to Bangkok on an Italian crust. The secret is the Satay-style peanut sauce: creamy, sweet, and spicy. Fresh cilantro and crunchy veggies added after baking maintain their snap, creating a contrast with the hot, gooey cheese.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice chicken thin, salt, and flash-fry in a little oil until just white.
Tip: Sealing the meat keeps moisture inside so it doesn't dry out in the oven.
2
✓
Peel carrot and julienne (matchstick) or grate. Slice onion paper-thin.
Tip: Thin veggies soften perfectly in the short bake time.
3
✓
Roll out dough and spread with half the peanut sauce.
Tip: Peanut sauce is rich (oily); don't overdo it or it will run.
4
✓
Top with mozzarella, chicken, half the onions, and half the carrots.
Tip: Layering is key; cheese anchors toppings, roasted veggies get sweet.
5
✓
Bake 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Tip: Don't open the door often; temperature drops hurt the rise.
6
✓
Remove. Top with remaining fresh onion, carrots, sesame, chili flakes, and chopped cilantro.
Tip: The hot/cold and soft/crunchy contrast makes this dish.
