I LOVE Stumble Upon because I found this absolutely amazing recipe to try!! Thank you www.familyfreshcooking.com!!! 

thai chicken pizza recipeWe love to make pizza around here.  It is a favorite with the adults and children alike.  I make my own dough, and usually have some in my freezer for whenever we feel like whipping up a fresh pizza.  This pizza was inspired by the one at California Pizza Kitchen.  Their Thai Chicken Pizza is my favorite.  When my husband is standing duty, I have been known to stick a frozen CPK Thai Chicken Pizza in the oven and call it dinner.  Come to think of it, I have not done that in ages, I should get one the next time I am at the store.  I love the sauce that goes on this pizza.  It is the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and tart.  Yes, there are a lot of ingredients.  Do not be put off by the ingredients list.  I use Asian ingredients all the time and most of these things are always in my pantry.  You can use this sauce on other things, like grilled chicken or vegetables.  My kids love to dip anything.  I love when the dip is not ranch or ketchup.
