Note
*Chicken breasts should be grilled and sliced before adding to the pizza. You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
**Thai Sauce: If you don't have Thai sauce on hand, you can make a quick version by mixing curry powder, Thai chili paste, coconut cream, and green curry paste to taste.
Bean sprouts and coriander are best added after baking or at the very end to maintain their crunch and freshness, although this recipe includes them before baking for a softer texture. Adjust to your preference.
Thai sauce and peanut toppings can be found at Oriental specialty stores or in the international aisle of most supermarkets.
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or extra Thai chili paste to the sauce.
