Cooking instruction summary:

Lightly sprinkle both sides of chicken with seasoned salt. Spray a skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium-high heat. Cook chicken approximately 7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from heat, and slice into thin, bite-sized pieces.Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Roll or stretch dough to fit a full-sized baking sheet. (I line mine with a silicone mat to prevent sticking.)Rinse and dry the skillet used for the chicken, and heat it over medium heat. Melt butter in the hot skillet, and whisk in flour. Very slowly stir in milk a tiny bit at a time, whisking constantly until smooth before adding more. When all the milk is incorporated, continue whisking often and bring to a simmer until thick and bubbly. Turn heat to low, and stir in parmesan, pepper, and salt. Turn off heat, and evenly spread white sauce over the dough.Rinse and dry skillet again. Add olive oil to the skillet, and heat over medium-high heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt, and sauté. When the onions are starting to brown, stir in a couple tablespoons of water. Continue to cook until they are as caramelized as you like. (I cooked mine about 7 minutes total.)Evenly spread chicken, onions and cranberries over the pizza. Tear provolone into 1" wide strips, and arrange evenly over the toppings, and sprinkle feta evenly over the top.Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is brown around the edges.

Food Joke

The false teeth [My thanks to Richard K for the following] Moshe has been living in Poland all his life, but just before the 2nd World War, he sees big trouble coming. So he sells all his assets, converts them into gold and then melts down the gold to have five sets of false teeth made for him. He flees Poland and after much travelling, arrives at Ellis Island, New York, where he is interrogated by an immigration official who also goes through the contents of his battered suitcase. When the official sees the 5 sets of false teeth, he asks Moshe why he has so many. Moshe replies, "As you might know, we orthodox Jews have two separate sets of dishes, one for meat and one for dairy products. However, I’m so kosher and religious that I also need to have separate sets of teeth." The official is confused. "Well that accounts for two sets of teeth. What are the other three for?" "Well," Moshe replies, "we ultra-Orthodox Jews also use separate dishes for Passover and I’m so observant that I need two sets of Passover teeth to go with the dishes, one for meat and one for dairy food." The official is still confused. "You`ve convinced me that you`re a highly religious man and I accept that you therefore need four sets of teeth. But what about the fifth set?" "Well, to tell you the truth, mister official," replies Moshe, "every once in a while I like to eat a ham and cheese sandwich."
