This Thai Curry Pizza offers a unique fusion of flavors, featuring a creamy and aromatic red curry sauce as its base. Built upon a crisp pizza crust, it is generously topped with tender shredded chicken, melted mozzarella, and a colorful medley of fresh vegetables including shredded carrots, red onion, and bell pepper. A final sprinkle of sliced green onions after baking adds a fresh, mild bite to this inventive and satisfying dish.
Ingredients
- For the Thai Curry Sauce:
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- For the Pizza:
- 1 (12-inch) pre-baked pizza crust or fresh pizza dough
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using pizza dough, prepare it according to package directions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar until smooth. This will be your pizza sauce.
- Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the Thai curry sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, shredded carrots, sliced red onion, and sliced red bell pepper over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh sliced green onions before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a quicker meal, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
Feel free to add other toppings like chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro after baking for extra texture and flavor.
Adjust the amount of red curry paste to suit your preferred level of spice.
For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the pizza base for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
