Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf italian or french bread, cut in half. you can pull out a little of the inside if you don't want it too 'bready'
  • 1 cup bbq jackfruit or chicken per half since I do chicken on half and jackfruit on the other, I breakdown ingredients by half
  • 1 small onion or half large, cut into slices
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar optional to stir into the onion
  • 1-2 cups BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450. Toast bread with a light drizzle of olive oil for 5 minutes .
  • While the oven is preheating, start to cook the onion. Cook over medium heat in a little oil. When the oil dries up and onions brown a little, add a splash of water to scrape off brown bits. Keep repeating this for about 10 minutes. We are lightly carmelizing the onion.
  • Now for the filling. If you are using just jackfruit, you are already done and ready to top the pizza. If you are using chicken, mix 1 loosely packed cup per loaf slice with (2 cups total if only using chicken) with 1 cup BBQ sauce per half. Again 2 cups total if only using chicken. Stir in onion.
  • Now to assemble. I like to spread a very thin layer of marinara sauce over each loaf, about 1/4 cup total for both slices. Then top each half with whichever topping your using. Then top with mozzarella. I use a little over a cup total.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Top with fresh cilantro optional

Notes

This is such a yummy dinner but you could also slice smaller pieces for an appetizer
