Ingredients

Caramelized onions

  • 2 tsp (10 ml) olive oil
  • 1 large Peak of the Market red onion (could use any onion), thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp (15 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) black pepper

Pizza

  • 1 lb (450 g) pizza dough or pre-baked 12” pizza crust made with Manitoba wheat flour
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) thyme, fresh
  • 1 cup (250 ml) cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 250 g fresh mozzarella (sliced into 10-12 slices)
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) grated smoked gouda or provolone, or other favourite cheese
  • 4 slices of prosciutto, rolled up and thinly sliced
  • Additional fresh thyme for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. In a large skillet, add 2 tsp olive oil. Heat over medium heat, then add onions and cook, stirring often for about 7 min. Add garlic, and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until onions are soft and golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  2. Preheat oven to 450F
  3. Roll pizza dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, if using fresh dough. Brush dough or prebaked crust lightly with olive oil. Spread onions evenly over dough. Sprinkle fresh thyme over onions.
  4. Arrange chicken evenly over onion layer.
  5. Arrange mozzarella slices evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle smoked gouda over mozzarella, then top evenly with sliced prosciutto.
  6. Bake the pizza for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden and pizza crust is golden.
  7. Remove from oven, garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
