Chicken Sausage, Fennel, Onion, and Gouda Pizza

This was overall really easy and tasty (and even better today for lunch!). I had never cooked with fennel bulb before, but the sweet onion + fennel combo was really nice and in my book, anything with Gouda is a win. Also, I bought 2 pre-made pizza crusts and doubled the ingredients so that we would have leftovers for lunch. (Note: the ingredients listed below are for 1 pizza.)

Ingredients:
-1 pre-made pizza crust, like Boboli
-2 links chicken sausage, removed from casing
-3/4 C Gouda, shredded
-1 C fennel bulb, finely diced

-1.5 C sweet onion, sliced into thin strips
-1 T oil
-T chives




 Steps:
(preheat oven at 450)
1. Saute chicken sausage until browned (~7 mins) and break it into small pieces as it cooks.
2. Transfer sausage to bowl.
3. Add the diced onion and fennel to the chicken sausage pan (I used the grease from the chicken sausage to add flavor), cover with a lid, and saute for about 15-20 minutes over medium heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. I had to add 1 T of EVOO to keep things from sticking.

4. Once onion mixture is done, spread it evenly on top of pizza. Add the sausage and cheese.
5. Cook at 450 for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
6. Top with chives.
