Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups red onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 piece pizza crust, ultra-thin
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce, organic
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, classic
  • 12 oz cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 serving ranch dressing (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by slicing 2 red onions thinly.
  2. Add olive oil to a skillet and heat over low/medium heat. When fragrant, add sliced onions and salt. Saute for about 20 minutes until caramelized. Increase heat to medium/high at the end to darken the color. Set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pizza crust on a large surface. Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and shredded chicken evenly over the top.
  4. Transfer caramelized onions on top of the chicken and cheese. Add dried oregano and red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Bake directly on oven rack for 14-16 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is crispy.
  6. Slice and serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
