Thai Chicken Flatbread
This chicken flatbread pizza is a delicious fusion of Thai-inspired flavors, featuring a savory peanut sauce drizzled over moist chicken, crunchy carrots, fresh scallions and cilantro, and melted mozzarella on a crispy naan crust.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 naan flatbreads
- 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic very finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1/2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup coarsely shredded carrot 1 to 2 medium
- 3 to 4 scallions sliced
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves only, roughly chopped
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- Juice of 1 lime about 2 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce see notes
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush both sides of each naan flatbread with a little olive oil and arrange them on 2 sheet pans. Pre-bake the naan for 6 minutes, remove them from the oven, and set aside.
- While the naan bakes, heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Drain the excess fat and juices and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce by combining the peanut butter, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce and sriracha in a small bowl. Add water in 1 tablespoon increments until the mixture reaches the consistency of thick syrup and set aside.
- Distribute about 1/2 cup of the cheese between the 4 flatbreads, then top each with a portion of chicken. Top with shredded carrot, scallions and cilantro, then drizzle with the peanut sauce. Finish by topping with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Tips for Reheating Flatbread
If you want to keep your crust crispy, reheat your flatbread pizza in the oven. Preheat to 350°F and place the flatbread on heavy-duty aluminum foil on the middle rack and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. You can also use a baking sheet or pizza stone for even crispier results. Avoid using the microwave, as it will make the crust softer and likely soggy.
