Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh pizza dough
- 2-3 Tbsp all-purpose flour (for rolling out the dough)
- 1-1/2 cups peanut sauce
- 1-1/2 cups grilled/cooked chicken breasts, roughly chopped
- optional: 1-1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 3/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 Tbsp (packed) fresh cilantro or Thai basil leaves, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
- optional toppings: sliced chiles, chopped peanuts, fresh limes, a dash of siracha
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let rest for 15-30 minutes. On a lightly-floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 16 to 18-inch circle.
- Spread 1 cup of the peanut sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle with half of the cheese, if using.
- Toss the chicken with the remaining peanut sauce, and arrange in an even layer on top of the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese
- Transfer the dough to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes on a pizza stone or pizza pan, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Toss with the carrots, cabbage, scallions, basil, and chile slices (if using). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Top the pizza with the slaw mixture, and return to the oven. Cook for 1-2 minutes under the broiler until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve warm with extra limes, chopped peanuts, and/or siracha. Enjoy!!
Notes
- We almost always purchase fresh pizza dough from the supermarket – it’s fast, easy, and still tastes wonderfully “homemade.” This particular time we got the dough from Harris Teeter, but I know Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Publix, and many other supermarkets also carry fresh pizza dough. Use the suggested baking temperature and directions from your specific dough recipe/package – they may differ slightly from our method.
