Unroll pizza crust, and cut into 4 equal portions; place on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Roll each portion into a 6½-inch circle, forming a rim around edges. Spread evenly with tomato mixture; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Layer evenly with tomato slices, onion mixture, chicken, and green onions; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano.
