Thai Chicken Pizzas

I absolutely adore Thai food!  I think it is delicious and offers a unique taste to my palette from time-to-time.  I must admit that anything with curry in it is usually a favorite for me, but my second choice of flavors when it comes to Thai food . . . anything with peanut sauce.  Man, it’s good!  When I saw this recipe I had to make it immediately . . . which I did even though I didn’t have fresh cilantro on hand.  I didn’t have mozzarella cheese either, but I had a reduced fat blend and I figured I would just use that instead.  Well, the results were stellar so I can’t wait to actually eat this with fresh cilantro because I know that will make it taste even better.  The peanut sauce is DELICIOUS on these.  It had the familiar tastes of traditional Thai peanut sauce with a little bit of tang.  I also loved how the tortilla was slightly crunchy when the pizza was done baking.  It was like eating a very thin-crust pizza.  These were super fast to pull together . . . especially because I used the cooked chicken that I buy from costco.

The last thing I can tell you about these pizzas is that after I was finished eating my pizza . . . I wished I could eat another one right away!
