Thai-style Chicken Flatbread

Busy weekend! A good friend came to visit from NJ so we spent lots of fun times together, and the rest of the time was used to study for an exam coming up on Tuesday. However, I really like this Thai-style chicken flatbread that I made for dinner, so I want to jot down the recipe before I lose it. This recipe gives an Asian twist to pizza, using peanut dipping sauce as the tomato sauce, chicken marinated in soy sauce and honey as the topping, and naan flatbread as the pizza dough. It's a super easy recipe (provided that you are not making the naan from scratch, which I have not mastered yet) for a tasty, satisfying dinner!

Thai-style Chicken Flatbread Recipe

Serving Size:
Makes 2 flatbreads

Ingredients:1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken, cut into bite-size pieces

2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium naan
1/2 cup peanut dipping sauce (below)
8 ounces mozzarella cheese
cilantro
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine the chicken with the soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch and let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat a nonstick frying pan over high heat. When hot, add the chicken pieces and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
Brush the olive oil all over the edges of the naan. Spread the peanut dipping sauce on each naan. Top with the mozzarella and cooked chicken. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven, top with cilantro and roasted peanuts.

Heat the oil in small saucepan over medium-low heat. When the oil is just starting to get hot, add the garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, water, and peanut butter and stir until smooth. Simmer until thickened. Let cool.
