Spicy Chicken Pizza
This recipe creates a pizza topped with diced chicken marinated in a punchy blend of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes. The cooked chicken is coated in a thickened marinade sauce, spread over a pizza base, and covered with cheese before baking. The result is a savoury, spicy main dish perfect for a family meal. Preparation and cooking takes around 50 minutes to serve four people.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken, diced
- 1 cup sliced green onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 pizza crust
Method
- Combine the sliced green onion, minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce and crushed red pepper flakes to create a marinade.
- Add the diced chicken to the marinade, stir to coat, and leave it to stand for 30 minutes.
- Drain the chicken, reserving the leftover marinade liquid.
- Fry the marinated chicken pieces in a pan until fully cooked through.
- Mix the cornstarch into the reserved marinade until smooth.
- Pour the marinade mixture into the pan with the chicken and cook, stirring, until it thickens and bubbles, for about 2 minutes.
- If the mixture is too thick, stir in a little water to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over a 12 inch pizza crust. You can use a shop-bought base or prepare your own dough.
- For a crisper result, bake the empty crust in the oven for about 10 minutes before adding toppings.
- Scatter the shredded Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken layer.
- Bake the assembled pizza at 400°F for 20 minutes.
- Once baked, you can garnish the pizza with extra sliced green onion before serving.
