This Thai Chicken Pizza is made with tender chunks of marinated chicken, a spicy yellow curry sauce, fresh vegetables, topped with fresh mozzarella cheese. It's super easy to throw together and only takes 15 minutes in the oven!

This recipe was originally published in July 2018. It has been updated for content and photos.

Once I took my first bite of this Thai Chicken Pizza, there no way anyone was going to pry it out of my hands. It became my new favorite thing. So flavorful, perfectly spicy, and....it's PIZZA!

The Thai yellow curry sauce is used as a pizza sauce and has the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy - packed with flavor from the marinade, like the chicken in this pineapple chicken curry we love so much.

**You could also use massaman curry paste or panang curry paste!

The onions and peppers add a perfect fresh flavor, while the cashews add an amazing crunch and creaminess to the pizza. Plus, that gooey mozzarella cheese is the king of all pizzas.

And all put together on naan bread makes the assembly SO EASY. I love to make the ingredients ahead of time and then cook them when I'm ready. It makes everything super convenient.

They only take a couple minutes to piece together, 15 minutes in the oven and you've got yourself a droolworthy meal.

Ingredients

For the pizza crust, I like to use naan bread. However, you can also use pita bread, flatbread, or pre-baked pizza crust. I buy my naan, but you can make your own Homemade Naan as well.

I find chicken breast or chicken thighs work just fine. Thighs are slightly more juicy, but the difference is negligible in this recipe.

For the Thai yellow curry paste, making your own is the preferred method. It just has so much more flavor. However, I do understand the time struggle is real. You can buy it HERE on Amazon (affiliate link).

Most of these ingredients can be found in your local grocery store or Asian market. I've included a total list of ingredients in the recipe card below.

Step by Step Instructions

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chicken and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Heat a cast iron skillet (or non-stick skillet) over medium heat and cook the chicken 5-7 minutes per side for thighs, 8-10 minutes for breasts, until browned and cooked through. Internal temperature should be 165F when done.

Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Once cooled, cut into bite sized pieces.

While the chicken is cooling, pour the coconut milk, salt and curry paste into a sauce pan and heat to boiling to make the Thai yellow curry sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.

Next, add the diced sweet potato to the skillet and cook on medium until lightly browned and caramelized, about 7 minutes.

Lay the naan bread (or pita bread) on a baking sheet sheet. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of sauce over the flatbread and spread. Use more or less sauce as desired.

Add the diced chicken, vegetables and cashews and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of the curry sauce. Place 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until crust is browned around the edges and cheese is melted. Remove and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing it. Serve leftover curry sauce on the side for dipping.

Expert Tips

Substitute pita bread, or any kind of flatbread, for the naan if desired. You can also use pre-baked pizza crust.
Substitute green or red curry for the yellow if desired.
For extra spice, dice a Thai chili and sprinkle on top of the pizza.

This pizza would be awesome served with some of these recipes:

Start with a Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad or Thai Beef Salad;
These Pad Thai Egg Rolls or Satay Chicken Wings are also a great appetizer;
Red Curry Mac and Cheese would be an awesome accompaniment.
