Thai Pizza

Tonight was Thai Chicken Peanut Pizza.
I have always ordered the Thai pizza at California Pizza Kitchen and LOVE IT! I also have had cauliflower pizza and enjoy it a great deal. Im a big fan of Thai food of really any kind. So when I came across Sandy's version of this I HAD to try it. My husband isn't always a peanut fan. He usually doesn't like nuts at all. Not even peanut butter. What a strange man... So i promised to figure out more beef and a burger for him one night if he let me cook this one night. He ended up loving this pizza! he says it is in the top three of all Medifast lean and greens I've cooked so far. I love that man.
I think for me the BEST part was the crust and the WORST part the crust. let me explain.
The best, the flavor and consistency was perfect for pizza, not granular or chunky. Not watery or mushy. It was actually crispy on the edges and could even be folded like a real pizza crust.
Now why you ask, when I say how amazing it was, do I say it was the worst?

Well, refer to the pictures below.
 I tried to flip the crust over to bake the underside and it got stuck to my parchment paper and spatula and folded onto itself. The more I tried to unfold it the more it folded and then stuck to my spatula. I ended with odd crustS (plural) not perfect crust. I was so upset. I was very proud of how it looked before. Like a REAL pizza crust. Then came the disaster. I had a memory of the movie Julie and Julia where Julie has a melt down with her trussed chicken. She falls on the floor having a tearful tantrum and I HONESTLY had a similar experience. **BLUSH** But unlike in the movie my husband came to my rescue and let me cry on his shoulder about my pizza crust disaster. :) Ok got off the floor and realized it would still taste the same, just keep going.

Another thing, with Medifast you really don't have too terribly many options with "if my dinner just totally bombed lets just go grab dinner out" So either go to a restaurant and risk failure (in that mood I would have had trouble) or keep going and eat funny looking crust.

I kept going.

Chunky frozen cauliflower in cheese and eggs

I had frozen cauliflower left over from last week and I decided to use it as a "quick" step saver. Well, it decided to stay frozen too long and I took matters into my own hands. I nuked it in 15 second intervals until it was MOSTLY unfrozen, but was still cool enough not to cook the eggs and melt the cheese I had already added. I started mixing with a wooden spoon (as I would have with fresh cauliflower) it was still leaving big chunks of frozen cauliflower and I knew that wouldn't make a good crust. So I grabbed my new hand mixer and started beating the heck out of the stuff. It not only worked, it did so in spectacular fashion!
I credit that hand mixer with my amazing crust. It was beat into submission and smooth (as smooth as cauliflower can get I guess)

I spread it out thin on a cookie sheet

started to bake

PERFECT, before the disaster 

grilling chicken

after disaster...

back in oven to finish

onion and cilantro

chicken and mung beans (bean sprouts) 

I did adjust the peanut sauce

The peanut sauce was made exactly as the directions said and I tasted it and it wasn't what i wanted. I started over. I used PB2, water, and a SPLASH of soy/teriyaki added a mini dash of fresh ginger (like 1/16th of a teaspoon if thats a thing) and then 1/4 teaspoon of sesame oil and a few shakes of red pepper flakes. I made half of what the recipe called for. I doubled the recipe for evertything except for the sause and my huband and I split the sause perfectly well. It was enough but not too much. 

before cheese, with chicken and veggies on crust pieces

added cheese and popped under broiler. 

It was SO GOOD!

I am making this again, and again, and again! It was the perfect food for Friday night movie night with my sweety. He loved it and wants me to do it again too! Huza!
