Ingredients 

1 frozen sheet puff pastry, 17x12 inches, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2 large white onions, cut in half, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
4 cups coarsely chopped Gold'n Plump® Deli Rotisserie Chicken
2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions 

Heat oven to 400ºF. If necessary, roll pastry on lightly floured surface into a 17x12-inch rectangle. Place on bottom of half sheet pan. Generously prick pastry with a fork. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and bottom is starting to crisp.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and heat oil. Stir in onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook onion until soft and light golden brown on edges, stirring frequently. Stir in chicken. Cook just until chicken is warm, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle bottom of warm crust with 1 cup of cheese. Top with onion mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese and parsley. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cool 10 minutes. Cut into 12 equal-sized portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
