This is truly phenomenal. My boy, who loves barbecue chicken pizza, absolutely loved this. The trick is to turn the heat up at the end so that the cheese melts.
1 pizza crust
BBQ sauce of choice
1/2 pkg LightLife Smart Chick'n Strips
1/2 red onion, sliced into thin strips
1 tsp olive oil
5-10 jalapeno slices
1/2 pkg Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella cheeze, shredded
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the chik'n strips with enough barbecue sauce to coat. Slice the onion into thin strips. Heat the olive oil and saute the onion strips over medium heat until juicy and just slightly browned. Spread a layer of bbq sauce on the pizza crust, followed by the chik'n strips, cooked onions and jalapeno slices. Top with shredded cheeze. Cook for 15 minutes, then turn the heat up to 425 and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cheeze is melted.
Ingredient Notes: We use frozen pizza crusts that we get from our health food store. The chik'n strips were remarkably tasty, especially when tossed in the barbecue sauce. We got the jarred 'tamed' jalapeno slices available at our grocery store, but you could, of course, use full strength jalapenos if you like it spicy. The Vegan Gourmet cheese is the only vegan cheese I've found that melts well. You just have to be patient and turn up the heat to over 400 degrees.
Updated: For you DSM-ites, I figured I should let you know where to get all of the above ingredients. I got the Chik'n strips and the jalapenos at the IngerDahl's. The pizza crusts came from Campbell's on University, and the 'cheese' is available at New City Market. We used Cookie's BBQ sauce, which is available just about anywhere.
