INGREDIENTS:
basic pizza dough or whole-wheat variation 1/4 cup sesame seeds 2 heads garlic, broken into cloves, peeled, and coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons crushed dried red chili pepper 1/2 cup soy sauce 5 tablespoons honey
1-1/2 cups rice wine vinegar about 3/4 cup vegetable oil 5 boned and skinned chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
cornmeal, if using a pizza peel 2 cups (about 8 ounces) grated Gruyere cheese 1 cup (about 4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions



1 Prepare the dough and preheat the oven as directed in the basic recipe.
2 Put the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat. Toast the seeds, stirring or shaking the pan, until golden, about 4 minutes. Empty onto a plate to cool. Reserve.
3 Combine the garlic, crushed red pepper, soy sauce, honey, and vinegar in a bowl. Reserve.
4 Heat 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil in a saute pan or large skillet over medium-high heat and saute chicken until opaque on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Pour the garlic mixture into the skillet and cook over medium-high-heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the pieces are lightly glazed, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
5 Shape the dough as directed in the basic recipe. Brush dough all over with vegetable oil, then top with a layer of each of the cheeses and the glazed chicken, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle with the green onions. Drizzle evenly with vegetable oil.
6 Transfer the pie to the preheated baking surface and bake as directed in the basic recipe. Remove from the oven to a cutting tray or board and lightly brush the crust with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, slice, and serve immediately.
