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 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup soy chicken strips cut in cubes (or cooked chicken strips, I use leftover grilled or roasted chicken)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt and pepper
- ¾ cup arugula
- Spicy Mayo
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add salt and cook until lightly browned and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Roll pizza dough to desired thickness. Spread barbecue sauce over the pizza evenly. Add cooked onions and chicken strips.
- Preheat the pizza oven according to manufacturer's instructions (mine uses a propane tank and gets hot very quickly).
- Bake 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.
- Top with arugula and drizzle with spicy mayo.
