Thai Chicken Pizza

Submitted by Sharlene~W

"An easy version of the California Pizza Kitchen favorite. I like to use the Italian pizza crust (Boboli) because it is quick, but you could also adapt it to use your own favorite pizza crust. A good one I like here on Zaar is Recipe #8497 posted by Steve Sickenberger."

I liked, DH thought okay. I may have to grow facial hair grown for spite. Made for P-A-R-T-Y Recipe Tag.

The sauce is fantastic! I skipped the sesame seeds and the cilantro, and I used leftover grilled chicken instead of following the recipe. The pizza was really tasty. We'll definitely be making this again.

YUM! This was really tasty. The only thing I would do differently next time is double the amount of sauce because I liked it so much I wanted more of it!

This was outstanding! The sauce tasted great with the chicken, the carrots and cilantro really rounded out the flavors. I didn't have any chili oil so I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and that added just the right amount of heat. Also, I used a little garlic powder on the chicken. For us, everything has to have garlic. I'm definitely going to make this again!
