Instructions

Prepare the chicken:

Flatten the chicken and place onto a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine the red curry paste and coconut cream until it is incorporated.
Spread the sauce on both sides of the chicken.
Broil at 500°F/260°C on an oven rack set 5-6" from the top for 8-10 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer reaches a temperature of 165°F/74°C at the thickest part of the chicken breast.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Slice chicken into pieces. Set aside for later.

Preheat oven:

Preheat a baking steel or pizza stone on the lowest rack in the oven at 500°F/260°C for at least 1 hour.

Make the sauce:

In a bowl, combine red curry paste, coconut milk and sugar.
Stir until the mixture comes together and give it a taste, adjust the seasoning as needed.

Assemble:

On a lightly floured work surface, stretch out the pizza dough to about 14" in diameter and place onto on a large piece of parchment paper.
Spread the red curry sauce over the surface of the dough.
Add mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken, tomato slices, kaffir lime leaves and basil.
Bake in a preheated 500°F/260°C oven for 6-7 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melty.
