Ingredients:

• 1 package gluten-free pizza crust
• 1 lb. chicken, sliced into bite-sized pieces
• 1 bottle gluten-free BBQ sauce (you will use roughly half of bottle) OR about 2 cups homemade BBQ sauce (recipe follows)
• 1 red onion, sliced thin
• 1 tablespoon ground thyme
• 1 tablespoon marjoram
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place thinly sliced onions in skillet (medium-high) with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Let them cook until they are golden brown. Add minced garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar, set aside.

Brown chicken in same skillet with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and marjoram. Once cooked through, add in balsamic onion mixture and take off heat.

Place pizza crusts on baking sheet. Top with BBQ (however much you like, I use a thin layer) and spread evenly around crusts. Place chicken-onion mixture on top of the sauced pizza crusts. Add mozzarella and parmesan on top.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
