Shortcut Thai Chicken Pizza with Peanut Sauce

You’ll love the savory flavor of this Thai Chicken Pizza with Peanut Sauce. Use a few recipe shortcuts to get it on the table FAST!

Gluten-Free Thai Peanut Chicken Pizza - A quick and easy dinner idea!

If you are on a wheat-free diet (or any other kind of elimination diet), what do you miss the most? I have found that giving up wheat hasn’t really been that bad at all as far as cooking at home goes. There are plenty of gluten-free bread, pasta, and flour options that allow me to pretty much cook like I always have.

For me, the hardest part is going out or, even worse, going to parties. I don’t want to be “that guy” who has to ask about the ingredients about everything on the menu or at the party table. I just want to be able to eat like a normal person!

Gluten-Free Thai Peanut Chicken Pizza - A quick and easy dinner idea!

It’s pretty easy to get gluten-free items from a Mexican menu, but don’t even get me started on Italian. Unless you’re lucky enough to find yourself at an allergy-friendly restaurant, you are out of luck if you are looking at a pizza and pasta menu. That’s why I would usually rather just make my own pizza at home these days. Not only are you in control of the ingredients, you can make exciting new pizzas like this Thai Pizza with peanut chicken!

Gluten-Free Thai Peanut Chicken Pizza - A quick and easy dinner idea!

This pizza will make you look like a culinary genius, but you can get it on the table in under 20 minutes. Thanks to pre-made pizza crusts (gluten free crusts in my case), it’s easy to make this restaurant-worthy dinner in a hurry. I used bottled Thai peanut sauce and leftover chicken, so this came together in a snap.

You could also stir fry the chicken, onion, and peppers with a little gluten-free soy sauce before adding them to the pizza if you don’t have cooked chicken on hand.

There are different schools of thought on pizza assembly. Some think the crust and cheese should be the stars of the show, with just a light layer of sauce and sparse sprinkling of toppings added in. Then there are folks like me who want a heaping mound of toppings with just enough cheese to hold it all together.

Don’t get me wrong. I love cheese, but I think a little can go a long way, and using it sparingly can make pizza less guilt inducing. You should build your pizza just the way YOU like it. Pile on extra cheese if you prefer. No one is looking.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place pizza crusts side by side on a baking sheet.
  3. Spread 3-4 tbsp. peanut sauce over each crust, leaving a little margin around the edge uncovered. Evenly arrange chicken, bell peppers, and onions over the sauce. Sprinkle cheese over the toppings, and then sprinkle green onions and peanuts over the cheese.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and toppings are starting to brown. Slice and serve.
Recipe Notes

If you don't have pre-cooked chicken on hand, you can stir fry diced chicken with a bit of soy sauce.

    Andi – I made this last night for my mom and hubby and she couldn’t get over it! She has never tried Thai food but she loves pizza! It was a huge hit! She wants me to make it again when I go down to see her tomorrow! My husband wants me to make it for HIM on Friday. I have NO PROBLEM with either request!!!

    I would love to make these pizzas but unfortunately, my local Walmart to the North (over 45 mins away) quit selling the Udi’s pizza crust, another Walmart to the South doesn’t even carry the bread anymore. Frustrating, so would way love to win some!

      Oh that is too bad they quit selling them! I think I have only seen them at Whole Foods around here if you have one of those in your area. You can also find a store near you or order products from the Udi’s website. Good luck!

    That looks ridiculously delicious! Gluten free is a super bonus and is a great excuse for piling on the extra cheese, I don’t care if anyone is watching! ;)

    We love Udi’s pizza crust! My household is gluten free as well and we have tried a few other pizza crust but my husband doesn’t like any as much as Udi’s. This pizza looks great we will have to try it!

      Aren’t the pizza crusts good?? My only complaint is that they make me eat too much pizza ;) The size seems too small for two adults to share, so I end up making both even if it’s just us. Then it’s too easy to eat a whole one myself! Thanks for stopping by, Annie :)

    Looks great, and I know exactly what you mean about asking specific questions about ingredients! But you gotta do what you gotta do to stay safe, right? I’m excited to for all the Udi goodies you have listed here. Pinned to my “Amazing Gluten Free Savory” Board.

      Thanks, Laura! Sorry this one still isn’t great for you because it has peanuts! I was actually planning to make it with teriyaki sauce instead, but I couldn’t find the gluten-free teriyaki sauce I know I’ve seen before. Maybe you could try it that way if your guys can have soy.
