I came up with this Thai chicken pizza recipe after trying a similar appetizer pizza at a restaurant. It’s a great way to use up leftover grilled or baked chicken, plus it’s a breeze to vary based on everyone’s tastes. —Cheryl Taylor, Ortonville, Michigan

Thai Chicken Pizza Tips

Can I make my own Thai peanut sauce for this Thai chicken pizza?

If you’d rather make your own Thai peanut sauce than using a bottled sauce, then go right ahead! You’ll need peanut butter and soy sauce, plus some other ingredients, depending on taste preference. Feel free to use your own recipe, or try the sauce outlined in our Contest-Winning Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry recipe.

Can I make Thai chicken pizza ahead of time?

This Thai chicken pizza recipe is already pretty fast—it’s on the table in just 25 minutes! But if you’d like to save even more time, feel free to pre-assemble the pizza a few hours before you plan to serve it. You could also pre-prep all of your ingredients; go ahead and slice the veggies, shred the cheese, etc. up to one day in advance. For more, check out our best quick dinner ideas.

How should I store Thai chicken pizza?

Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. By the way, this is the best way to reheat pizza.
