Thai Chicken Pizza
Pizza night is always a win at our house, and this Thai Chicken Pizza is one of our favorite pizzas when we want something a little different. Inspired by flavors you might find at California Pizza Kitchen, this delicious pizza combines tender chicken, crunchy carrots, and a bold thai peanut sauce that the whole family loves. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and just a little spicy, making it a fun switch from traditional pizza sauce nights. Whether you’re using homemade dough or a pre-made pizza crust, this thai pizza is a favorite way to shake things up. Serve it hot and watch it disappear fast.
Absolutely. A pre-made pizza crust is perfect when you’re short on time and still want a delicious pizza.
It’s mild as written, but you can add extra thai sweet chili sauce or asian chili sauce if your family likes more heat.
Pepper jack works well if you want a little spice, or you can mix it with mozzarella cheese for extra flavor.

Ingredient Notes
- Pizza dough: A soft, chewy base made with active dry yeast that bakes up beautifully on a pizza stone or pizza pan.
- Mozzarella cheese: A classic cheese that melts smoothly and balances the bold thai flavor.
- Cooked chicken breast: Tender cooked chicken adds protein and makes this pizza filling and satisfying.
- Bean sprouts: Light and crisp sprouts bring freshness and great crunch to every bite.
- Matchstick carrots: These crunchy carrots add color, texture, and a slight sweetness.
- Crushed peanuts: Peanuts add nutty flavor and pair perfectly with the peanut butter sauce.
- Green onions: Mild onion flavor that brightens the pizza without overpowering it.
- Fresh cilantro: A fresh garnish that finishes the pizza with a pop of color and flavor.
- Peanut butter: The creamy base that gives this thai chicken pizza recipe its signature flavor.
- Soy sauce: Adds salty depth and enhances the overall savory taste.
- Thai sweet chili sauce: Brings gentle heat and sweetness similar to asian chili sauce.
- Brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and ground ginger: complements the sesame-style flavors.
Thai Chicken Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a pizza pan, or large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, thai sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground ginger until fully combined and smooth. Spoon the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle about three-quarters of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on the diced chicken, bean sprouts, matchstick carrots, crushed peanuts, and green onions.
- Finish with the remaining cheese and bake for 12–17 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, slice, and serve warm.
