Thai chicken pizza
INTO THE OVEN:
1 Pizza dough (go to wal-mart and buy something pre-made. I don't remember the brand we use, but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference... mama somethin's. I'm not sure. some lady's name was on the packaging. OR maybe there wasn't a "mama" at all. that might have been wishful thinking on my part.)
1/2 cup duck or plum sauce (we use duck sauce. we actually haven't tried it with plum sauce. if you're making more than one you could try it this way, but I know for sure duck sauce works!)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
one 10 oz bag monterey jack cheese (or around two cups... you can grate it yourself if you want. we always do. saves money.)
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, cleaned, and cut into strips
FOR THE CHICKEN:
1/2 pound of chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces (or thereabouts)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
2 tablespoons of tamari soy sauce (we've actually always used kikkoman regular soy sauce, but the original recipe calls for tamari. I doubt there would be much of a difference)
1 rounded tablespoon smooth peanut butter (wal-mart brand works just fine)
2 teaspoons hot sauce (we are using wal-mart brand Louisiana hot sauce)
2 teaspoons montreal steak grill seasoning
CUCUMBER TOPPING:
1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons white vinegar
GARNISH:
4 chopped scallions (green onions)
1 cup bean sprouts (optional- I don't think we used it last time but damn it's good!)
1/4 cup roasted and chopped peanuts
preparation:
In a large bowl, mix together vegetable oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, peanut butter, and grill seasoning. Throw it into the microwave for a few seconds to melt the peanut butter (or melt it on the stove top, it doesn't make any difference). You don't want to zap it for too long- just long enough that the peanut butter is melted and mixes readily with the other ingredients.
Add the cleaned and cubed chicken, mix well, and let stand for 10 minutes. (You can let it marinate longer if you want. Just make sure to put it in the fridge if you do. :) )
preheat your oven to four hundred and twenty-five degrees fahrenheit.
Spread the duck sauce onto the pizza dough as if it were pizza sauce, and then sprinkle with red pepper flakes (make sure the red pepper flakes go on evenly, or you might be driving a weaker member of your party to the hospital!).
Top the pizza with cheese, and then throw the red bell pepper on. Throw the whole mess into the oven, and bake it until the crust golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. with any luck, that should have been 15 minutes. If however, you are cooking more than one pizza, it will most likely take longer.
While the pizza is cooking, mix the honey and vinegar thoroughly, and then add the match-sticked cucumber. mix it all up to make sure the cucumber is coated with "dressing." Set this aside...
Throw your mixed up chicken into a pan or wok on the stove top. cook over medium heat Until the chicken is done. If you did the timing right, which you probably didn't (no worries) the pizza will be coming out right as your chicken is cooked all the way through. If you got the timing right, award yourself with a small golden star, or maybe a beer.
Using a spoon with drainage grooves cut into it, spoon the chicken onto the pizza. some "chicken sauce" on the pizza is no problem, but you mostly just want the chicken on the pizza, not the sauce. After you're finished doing that, add the scallions, bean sprouts, and peanuts. Then drain your cucumbers and scatter them all over your pizza.
Congratulations, you've officially cooked an easy and delicious Rachel Ray (unfortunately) recipe.
This pizza goes well with granite city beer and excessive gambling
