After adding the chicken, pop the baking tray in a preheated oven for 2-3 mins. Do the same once the cashews and cheese are on top. The cheese here helps to stick the ingredients above and below together.
Pizza topping ideas
Here are some further ingredient combos you might like to try:
- peanuts in place of the cashews
- buk choy in place of the pak choy
- peanut sauce in place of the sweet chili sauce
- parmesan cheese in place of the grated cheese

Notes
- Note 1 You can use any sort of cooked chicken you like. Leftover roast chicken works, shredded chicken or cooked sandwich style chicken breast are all good options.
- Note 2 Pak Choy and Buk Choy are very similar looking and tasting Asian vegetables. Pak Choy (shown in photos) has a green based stem and buk choy has a white based stem.
- Note 3 This coconut is the long thin shredded variety that will be with the nuts around the cooking section of the store. It is different from desiccated coconut. We want this for texture and taste. Desiccated coconut would be too thin and not provide the texture we are looking for. So shredded coconut is best in this recipe.
