Barbecue “Chicken” Pizza

Servings: 4 Prep Time: 30 minutes (estimated) Cooking Time: 23 minutes (estimated for standard oven method) This can be made pareve (with soy meat strips) or a meat version, being mindful to use a meat oven for a meat pizza and a dairy or pareve pizza oven for the pareve or dairy version. This is a copycat recipe for the famous California Pizza Kitchen recipe of BBQ chicken pizza.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 onions (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 package store bought pizza dough

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 3/4 cup arugula
• Spicy Mayo

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
2. 2Add salt and cook until lightly browned and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
3. 3Roll pizza dough to desired thickness. Spread barbecue sauce over the pizza evenly. Add cooked onions and chicken strips.
4. 4Preheat the pizza oven according to manufacturer's instructions (mine uses a propane tank and gets hot very quickly).
5. 5Bake for about 12 minutes in a pizza oven, turning about every 4 minutes for even baking. Alternatively, Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 20 - 25 minutes, until the crust is lightly toasted.
