Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown 15 to 20 minutes more.

Step 3

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 4

Press the refrigerated pizza crust onto the baking sheet to fit the size of the pan. Spread the barbeque sauce evenly over the dough and sprinkle with the shredded chicken caramelized onion bacon Gorgonzola cheese and diced jalapeno pepper. Season with paprika and garlic powder. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and the pizza dough is golden brown on the bottom 15 to 17 minutes.
