Thai Pizza Recipe | with chicken and sweet chili sauce
A crispy homemade pizza crust topped with sweet chili sauce, diced chicken, and melty cheese creates the perfect combination of sweet and spicy and is sure to be a hit!
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust*
- 1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini I like to leave the peels on, but you can feel free to peel your zucchini if you prefer.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup diced chicken I like to use baked or grilled chicken breast for this recipe, but any kind of chicken will work! Even rotisserie chicken, or any kind of leftover chicken you happen to have on hand!
- 3-4 green onions, sliced
- crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare your pizza crust(if you are using premade pizza dough you may need to let it warm up to room temperature before prepping) and preheat your oven according to the recipe instructions. The temperature and bake time below are based on my sourdough pizza crust recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roll out your crust and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet(if you don’t have any parchment paper on hand, you can grease your baking sheet with olive oil)
- In a small bowl toss together your shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Set aside until ready to use.
- Using the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula spread the sweet chili sauce over your pizza crust, leaving roughly 1/4 inch gap around the edges of the crust.
- Sprinkle your mixed cheese over the top of the chili sauce, doing your best to keep it evenly spread out. Layer the sliced zucchini over the cheese, followed by the diced chicken and red onion.
- Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top of the pizza followed by a light dusting of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Place the pizza in your preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*I love to use my homemade sourdough pizza crust for this recipe because it’s perfectly thin and crispy. But you can use any kind of homemade crust, store-bought pizza crust ,or pre-made dough that you like.
Any leftover pizza can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days! To reheat your pizza, place it on a baking sheet and heat at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until hot.
You can also serve this pizza with a drizzle of sesame oil or spicy peanut sauce!

I haven’t had any trouble finding Thai sweet chili sauce at my local grocery store, but if you having a hard time finding some you can order it online –HERE. Or even make your own!
The measurements above are rough estimates based on the amount of sauce and toppings my family likes, feel free to add more or less of any of the toppings to better suit your taste!
