Directions:1. Prepare the pizza crust according to the recipe or package directions. If using a gluten-free pizza crust, it usually requires that the crust is baked for 8-10 minutes before adding the toppings. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Make the sauce by stirring together the water, Old Fashioned Smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
3.. Bake the pizza dough for 8-10 minutes.
4. Slice the chicken breast thinly. Cut the strips into small 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter sauce. Toss to coat.
5. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and saute until cooked through, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from pan onto paper towels to drain.
6. Put the desired amount of sauce on the pizza crust. Top with 3/4 of the cheese. Spread cooked chicken over pizza, then top with red bell pepper. Cover with remaining cheese. Finish by spreading green onion and shredded carrot over the top of the pizza.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly browned around the edges. Remove from oven and let sit for several minutes before slicing. |
