I make this quick weeknight chicken pizza when I'm craving takeout. I like using shortcuts like premade pizza crust and rotisserie chicken to cut down on my time in the kitchen. —Joseph A. Sciascia, San Mateo, California

Ingredients

1 prebaked 12-inch pizza crust or flatbread
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
1-1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped cashews
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 green onions, chopped, divided
1-1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place pizza crust on a pizza pan; brush with sesame oil. In small bowl, combine hoisin sauce and chili garlic sauce; brush 1/3 cup over crust. Toss remaining mixture with chicken; sprinkle over crust. Top with red pepper, carrots, cashews, cilantro and half of the green onions. Sprinkle mozzarella over top.
