Thai Chicken Pizza

On hot summer days I am always looking for ways to cook without heating up the kitchen. I came across this quick and easy recipe that uses leftover chicken and a grill.

Not a lot of dishes used and grilling takes only about 10 minutes. All good in my books!


The best part... it is delicious!

Thai Chicken Pizza

  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • ⅓ c peanut butter
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 2” piece of fresh gingerroot - grated (2 tsp)
  • 2 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • 3-4 cups leftover chicken shredded or bite sized
  • 2 pieces naan bread
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • ⅓ seedless cucumber grated
  • ¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves - grated


Directions
1) In a mini food processor process the lime juice, peanut butter, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and
Sriracha sauce until smooth.

2) Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce. Put remaining sauce in a bowl with the chicken and mix.

3) Heat grill (I used a double stovetop grill). Cook naan bread on one end of the grill
(about 2-3 minutes each side )and grill the chicken mixture until warmed.

4) Spread 2 tbsp of the reserved sauce over each piece of bread.

5) Top with the chicken and grated vegetables. Add grated cilantro over the top and serve.

I think this would taste great as a lettuce wrap rather than on naan bread.
