Instructions

To make the peanut sauce:

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth. Taste, and adjust the

    spices to your liking. Alternatively, replace dry peanuts with 1/2 cup of peanut butter,

    and mix by hand.

To prepare the chicken:

  1. Cut 2 chicken breasts into small pieces, and quickly saute them in olive oil, salt and pepper (3-4 minutes). If you have left over grilled/cooked chicken, use 3-4 cups of that in place.

  2. Mix the cooked chicken with 3/4 cup of the peanut sauce, and set aside.

Assemble the pizza:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.

  2. Spread about 1/4 cup of peanut sauce on each piece of Lavash bread.

  3. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese, and 1 cup of the chicken.

  4. Arrange the chopped red pepper, onions, bean sprouts and carrots on top.

  5. Add crushed red pepper flakes for more heat (optional).

  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

  7. Serve topped with lots of chopped cilantro, and Thai basil, more fresh chopped scallions, and roasted peanuts.
