Ingredients
- 1 12-14 inch whole wheat pizza crust
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup red cabbage
- ¼ cup sugar snap peas chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- ¼ cup sweet Thai red chili sauce optional
For the Peanut Sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup agave nectar
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat. Turn on the grill to High and preheat for a few minutes while you prepare your chicken. Place the pizza stone on the grill to preheat.
- Grill the chicken. Season the chicken breast on all sides with the curry powder and place it on the grill grates. Cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping once until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees F.
- Make the sauce. While the chicken is cooking, combine all ingredients for the peanut sauce in a blender and mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Rest and slice. Remove the chicken from the grill and place it on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the grilled chicken.
- Assemble the pizza. Spread a thin layer of peanut sauce over the top of the pizza crust. Top with sliced grilled chicken, red cabbage, and carrots.
- Grill the pizza. Carefully transfer to the pizza stone and grill for 4-6 minutes until the bottom of the crust is crisp and the edges are golden brown.
- Serve. Remove the pizza to a large cutting board and sprinkle on the fresh cilantro and sugar snap peas. Drizzle with the Thai sweet chili sauce, if desired. Slice into triangles and serve.
