Teriyaki Chicken Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
This recipe marries the sophistication of Japanese flavours with the tradition of Italian pizza making. Teriyaki sauce, based on soy sauce and sugar caramelisation, forms a deep, sweet-salty coating on the meat which intensifies in the hot oven. Not just a topping, but a play on texture: the meeting of crispy dough, stringy cheese, and sticky glaze.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to the highest setting (usually 220-250°C). If you have a pizza stone, put it in to heat up.

Tip: The hot oven gives a thermal shock to the dough, causing bubbles to expand suddenly, making the crust airy (thermal expansion of gases).
2 ✓

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, season with salt and pepper, then fry in a pan with a little oil until it turns white (approx. 3-4 mins). No need to cook through fully, it finishes in the oven.

Tip: If you put raw chicken on the pizza, it may release water during baking, making the dough soggy.
3 ✓

Toss the pre-cooked chicken with 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce to coat evenly.

Tip: The glaze will caramelise on the meat, giving it extra flavour.
4 ✓

Roll out the dough by hand or with a pin into a circle. Place on a baking sheet lined with paper or a floured peel.

Tip: Room temperature dough is easier to stretch as the gluten network is relaxed.
5 ✓

Brush the dough with the remaining teriyaki sauce, leaving 2 cm at the edge. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella, then distribute the saucy chicken pieces.

Tip: Less is sometimes more: too much topping makes it hard for the dough to bake through.
6 ✓

Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, and the crust is dark golden brown and starts to blister.

Tip: Sugary sauce tends to burn quickly, so check halfway through. If browning too fast, lower the heat.
7 ✓

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with thinly sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.

Tip: On the hot pizza, the onion slightly steams from the heat, losing its sharpness but keeping its crunch.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the middle of the dough get soggy?
You probably put too much sauce on, or the chicken released liquid. Spread the sauce thinly and pre-cook the meat.
Can I substitute the chicken?
Yes, it works excellently with tofu or prawns too.
