Ingredients

• Pizza dough
• 5 ounces of chicken, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (less or more depending on how hot you want it)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 1/2 tbsp. honey
• 3/4 cup rice wine vinegar OR apple cider vinegar  (used cider vinegar)

Preparation

• Combine the red pepper flakes, garlic, soy sauce, honey, and vinegar. Stir well, set aside.
  
• In a small skillet cook the chicken. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  
• Pour the sauce mixture into the pan. Heat over medium heat until it thickens and becomes syrup like, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken, toss well.
  
• Form the dough. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, rubbing to coat the dough.

 Review & Changes-  I really wanted to like this recipe.  It had so much potential.  But while cooking the sauce I tasted it before mixing the chicken in, and it was really bitter due to the cider vinegar.  I ended up adding more honey and even a bunch of brown sugar before I was satisfied that the sauce wouldn't completely ruin the pizza. 

The overall taste was OK.  I just wasn't that impressed and can't see myself making this recipe again.
