Grilled crusty dough with sweet and spicy toppings...need I say more?
It has been far too long since my last post but after the dish I made last night I decided it was time to get back to it! I often make things up as I go so bear with me on the measurements and timing.This was my first attempt at grilling a pizza and I have to say even if you don't get the dough on the grill just right, mine folded at corner, it will still turn out delicious. One important thing I must mention is to keep an eye on the dough after the first few minutes. My grill was a bit hot and it started to burn so I turned the heat down, flipped and cooked a bit longer on the other side.
This is a great dish to enjoy on a summer evening with a glass of your favorite Sparkling Rose, Vouvray or, lets be honest, any wine you are loving at the moment!
Grilled Thai Chicken and Pineapple Pizza with Sweet Chili Peanut Sauce
Chicken Mixture:
1 lb ground chicken
1 Tbsp Sriracha
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2-1 Tbsp Fish sauce
1 Tbsp Sweet chili sauce
1 jalapeno, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp evoo
Ginger salt (totally optional but I had it)
(You may need to add more of any of these depending on how sweet or spicy you like it)
Crust:
1 lb fresh pizza dough from local pizzeria or grocery store not Pillsbury
1 Tbsp evoo
1 Garlic clove, smashed
Chopped Topping:
Cilantro
Green onion
1/2 a fresh pineapple, bite size pieces
Sauce:
2 Tbsp Peanut butter
2 Tbsp Soy sauce
2 Tbsp Sweet chili sauce
Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp evoo in large pan then sauté chicken and the rest of the ingredients in the first section.
Step 2: Heat gas grill to med-high heat and microwave smashed garlic clove in 1-2 tbsp Evoo for 10 seconds.
Step 3: Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce and sweet chili sauce. If you find you need more you could always whip up a bit more to serve at the end.
Step 4: Roll out dough and brush with oil on one side. Put on grill oil side down for about 2 min.
Step 5: Oil other side of dough and flip (I used two spatulas to help with this) for 2 min.
Step 6: Spread peanut sauce on dough and add chicken and pineapple. Cook until heated through and dough is done...may only be a few minutes.
Step 7: Top with chopped cilantro and green onions.
Enjoy!!
