Why You’ll Love This Thai Chicken Pizza Recipe

This easy Thai-inspired recipe will make you drive past your favorite pizza place and head straight ،me for a freshly-baked version.

• Great for freezing. Pop one out of the freezer whenever you’re craving a late-night pizza.
• Better than the pizza place. This Asian-style can’t be found at regular pizza places, so you’ll load up on a super unique and savory dinner.
• Convenient. The naan base lets you concentrate on building more flavor through the peanut sauce, chicken, and veggie toppings.
• Quick. You only need 20 minutes to make 2 pizzas!

Recipe Ingredients

The ،memade peanut sauce on this Thai chicken pizza is tangy, sweet, and ،y for the perfect balance of flavors. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact amounts.

For the Pizza

• Naan – Don’t worry if it’s slightly stale. It’ll crisp up in the oven anyways.
• Rotisserie chicken – Feel free to use ،memade shredded chicken.
• Green onions – You only need the green parts.
• Cilantro – It must be fresh cilantro for a fresh, ،y flavor.
• Carrot – Leftover baby carrots are great for this.
• Mozzarella cheese – Any melty cheese like cheddar, Gouda, or Muenster work.

For the Peanut Sauce

• Water – You can also use veggie stock.
• Soy sauce – I prefer low-sodium. Reduce the amount by 1/4 if you use regular soy sauce.
• Rice wine vinegar – Cooking sake works too.
• Ginger: Go for fresh or ground ،.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic and garlic paste are best. Garlic powder can make the sauce grainy.
• Red pepper flakes: Cayenne pepper or chili oil are good swaps.
• Creamy peanut ،er: Use crunchy peanut ،er for a bit of texture.

How To Make Thai Chicken Pizza

The pre-made naan saves you a bunch of prep time. All you have to do is ،emble the pizza. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe card.

• Prep the oven. Preheat the oven to 375F. Place the naan on the baking sheet.
• Make the peanut sauce. Whisk all of the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a small bowl until smooth.

• Assemble the pizza. Divide the peanut sauce between both naans. Add mozzarella, chicken, cilantro, carrots, and green onions to each pizza.
• Bake it. Pop it into the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melty. Remove it from the oven and let it cool 10 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

This Thai chicken pizza is a great way to use up leftover chicken and veggies that you have laying around in the fridge.

• Use leftovers. Shred any Spicy Thai Grilled Chicken, Sesame Lime Chicken, or Curry Grilled Chicken leftovers and use them for this recipe.
• More veggies. Thinly sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, bean sprouts, and small broccoli florets are great ways to make this a heartier pizza dinner.
• Make it veget،. Swap the chicken for c،bled tofu, tempeh, or just add more veggies.
• Use store-bought. If you’re in a rush, use your favorite store-bought Thai peanut sauce or dressing instead. I prefer low-sodium versions.
• Increase the heat. Slice some Thai red chili, jalapeños, or serranos and sprinkle it over the pizza to taste for a kick of heat.

Serving Suggestions

This crispy Thai chicken pizza is a hearty dinner option on its own. You can also serve it with my Thai Mango Avocado Salad or Thai Quinoa Salad with Peanut Dressing. If you want so،ing warm and comforting, try my Vegetable Thai Noodle Soup. For so،ing that’s more protein-packed, go for my Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

Proper Storage

I always make two pizzas, one for eating right away and another to freeze for later.

• Fridge: Place it in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Wrap it w،le or sliced with plastic wrap twice. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as usual. You can also reheat it straight from frozen in the oven by adding 10 minutes to the reheating time.
• To reheat it: Microwave it in 15-second increments until warm. You can also use the oven at 300F for 20-25 minutes.
