Vegetarian Costco Chicken Bake (with Chickpeas!)
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)

  2. Cook 8 pieces vegan bacon according to package instructions, until crispy. Chop bite-sized pieces.

  3. Drain 3 15-oz cans chickpeas and add them to a large bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to roughly smash about half of them.

  4. Stir in 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 6 slices smoked provolone (cut into small squares), 3 green onions (sliced), 1 cup vegetarian Caesar dressing, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and ½ tsp each salt and pepper.

  5. Portion 1 ½ to 2 lbs pizza dough into 4 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each out to be 9 x 5 inches.

  6. Scoop ¼ of the chickpea mixture onto each in a long log, compacting it with your hands into a mound.

  7. Pull dough over the chickpea mound and pinch the edges shut. Transfer to a lined baking sheet.

  8. In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg. Brush the egg lightly over each 'chicken' bake.

  9. Combine ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese and ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese in a small bowl, then sprinkle onto each 'chicken' bake.

  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

  11. Let stand for a few minutes before digging in–they're hot!
