Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1 piece (about 8 oz) Chicken breast
• 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 2 stalks (sliced) Green onion
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and lightly grease a pizza stone or a baking sheet.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your preferred shape. Transfer the dough to the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 3

Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water, then stir it into the hoisin sauce mixture. Heat the sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Spread the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with the shredded chicken, shredded carrots, and red bell pepper slices. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 7

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro (if using).

Step 9

Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chinese Chicken Pizza!
