bbq chik’un pizza with ranch

Ingredients

1/4 C shelled unsalted pistachios1/2 tsp sea salt1/2 tsp garlic powder2 C vegan chicken strips (I used 2 packages of Yves brand)1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying chik’un)1/4 C BBQ sauce (or you can use half BBQ and half hot sauce)1 C vegan mozzarella style shreds1/2 C thinly sliced red onion2 C arugula

Instructions

To make the vegan ranch, follow my recipe here.Heat a pan over medium heat with vegetable oil and break up or finely chop vegan chicken strips even more with your hands or a knife. Brown the strips for 4 to 5 minutes, then add BBQ sauce and cook another minute until well coated.Grind up pistachios in a coffee grinder until a fine powder is formed. Pour out the pistachio dust into a small bowl and stir in sea salt (if the pistachios are unsalted) and garlic powder.Dust the pistachio crumbs all over the crust. Make your own from my recipe here or you can find pre-risen pizza dough in the deli section of most grocery stores.Add vegan mozzarella style shreds, red onion, and BBQ chicken strips.Bake the pizza in an oven preheated to 450°F. Add arugula during last minute of baking to slightly wilt it.Thin out the vegan ranch with a bit of nondairy milk or water and drizzle it on top of the pizza before serving.
