It's Ontario Asparagus season. We eat it every day in some form. Grilled as a side dish, in an omelette or savoury tart, or on pizza, like this recipe!

The caramelized onions are also wonderful on burgers and sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough, from our freezer, thawed
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- salt and pepper
- 1 cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 8-10 asparagus spears, cooked
- 1- 1/2 c grated cheddar
- olive oil
Directions
Melt the butter, add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden in colour.
Stretch out the pizza dough to the desired size. Place on a pan or pizza stone. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
Spread the grated cheddar on the crust, arrange the chicken, and asparagus over the cheese.
Top with the caramelized onions.
Bake at 450° for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
