Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup almond flour
For the Toppings:
- 1/2 cup sugar-free barbecue sauce
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup shredded full-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
To Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Melt Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until melted. Stir to combine.
- Add Egg and Almond Flour: Add the almond flour and egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to get it fully combined.
- Form Crust: Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Pre-Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown.
To Prepare the Pizza:
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread the sugar-free barbecue sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the diced cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella, and red onion over the sauce.
- Bake Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
