Ingredient Notes
- pizza dough – You can use store-bought pizza crust or your own homemade pizza dough recipe for a better texture.
- mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully into that hot cheesy surface we all love.
- cooked chicken breast – Leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken makes this super easy and adds tender chicken flavor.
- bean sprouts – Adds a refreshing great crunch, like in your favorite Thai crunch salad.
- matchstick carrots – A colorful, crunchy carrot topping with Thai flair.
- crushed peanuts – Brings a great taste and extra crunch.
- green onions – A finishing touch that adds freshness and color.
- fresh cilantro leaves – The perfect way to garnish with herbaceous flavor.
- peanut butter – The rich base of your spicy peanut sauce.
- soy sauce – An important ingredient that brings salt and umami.
- sweet chili sauce – For that sweet-heat balance and signature Thai flavor.
- brown sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the sauce.
- ginger, garlic and onion powder – Boosts the savory profile.
It’s mildly spicy from the chili sauce, but you can turn up the heat with chili flakes or red pepper flakes.
Definitely! Leftover chicken, grilled chicken, or even shredded rotisserie chicken works great.
Pair it with a simple Thai Salad or even a few veggie spring rolls for a complete meal.
