• Prepare your pizza crust according to crust directions.
  
• Mix together the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a small bowl. Pour this mixture into a food processor or blender and blend for about 15 seconds or until the garlic, onion, and ginger reduced to small particles. Pour this mixture into a small pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute. Don't cook too long or your sauce will become lumpy.
• Slice the chicken into bite sized pieces
• Pour 1/3 of the peanut sauce over the chicken in a sealed container in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 2 hours.
  
• Heat 1 t. of oil in a small pan over medium/high heat.
  
• Cook the marinated chicken 3 to 4 minutes in the pan.
• Roll out your pizza crust and place on the baking sheet or pizza pan. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  
• Spread a thin coating of the remaining peanut sauce on the pizza crust. You may have leftover sauce.
• Sprinkle 1 c. of the grated mozzarella over the peanut sauce.
• Slice the green onions. Spread the onions over the cheese.
• Arrange the chicken of the pizza.
• Next, add the bean sprouts and julienned carrots.
  
• Sprinkle the leftover mozzarella just over the center of the pizza.
• Sprinkle the cilantro over the mozzarella, then the chopped nuts on top.
• Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
  
• Slice the pizza.
• Enjoy!
