BBQ Chicken Pizza, Collard Greens and Asparagus

I read on Cara's Cravings about a Phyllo dough flat bread and happened to have a remaining package of phyllo dough in my fridge.  I decided to make a BBQ pizza with the left over chicken from yesterday's recipe.  I added some smoky Gouda cheese, aromatic red onion and some of the BBQ sauce from the chicken. 

The result was much better than I hoped.  The crust was thin, flaky and crispy like biting into a pizza croissant and the smoky Gouda was perfect with the BBQ flavors.  I can't wait to take the left overs for lunch.

On the side....greens for the second day in a row!  This time my standby collard greens.  I had bought fresh organic collards at the farmers market as well as some roasted asparagus and onions that I simply sprayed with olive oil spray and baked right in with the pizza for 15 minutes.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place a phyllo sheet in the center, spray with cooking spray, lay the next sheet, spray and continue with the remaining sheets.
