asian chicken pizza



i found this recipe over at stephanie's cooks.  my roommates are pretty obsessed with anything asian-flavored so i decided to try this pizza out on them. i ended up tweaking the recipe a little bit to make the sauce a little thicker. i think next time i would add a vegetable to balance things out - maybe red pepper strips or broccoli - but overall it was really delicious. i added a lot of red pepper flakes, so use your own judgment here.

ingredients:
pizza dough ( i always buy the trader joes brand)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 1/2 tablesoon. honey
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup mozzarella cheese
evoo
sesame seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon water

directions:

preheat the oven to 450.

roll out pizza dough onto baking sheet. drizzle with evoo and cook for 5 minutes. remove from oven and set aside.

meanwhile, combine red pepper flakes, soy sauce, honey, and vinegar. heat skillet over medium-high heat with evoo. add chicken and cook about 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked through. remove from pan and set aside.

pour the sauce mixture into the pan. in a small bowl, whisk flour into water. beat until there are no more lumps of flour. add to pan and cook until sauce thickens and becomes syrup like, about 10 minutes. add the chicken, toss well.

top pizza dough with chicken/glaze mixture. make sure to cover every inch! top with cheese and sprinkle with sesame seeds. bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. serve immediately.
