Foodie Byte: Keep it simple; we used A Taste of Thai Peanut Sauce Mix simmered with 1 can lite coconut milk for this recipe. For added convenience, substitute your favorite brand prepared 12-inch pizza crust for dough ball. To serve as an impressive Thai chicken pizza appetizer, layer toppings on prepared Naan Indian flatbread (available in the specialty bakery aisle or deli of your local grocery store) and serve cut into small bite-size squares.
