Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 0.5 cup paleo-friendly barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, and water until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circle about 1/4-inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until it starts to firm up and lightly browns.
While the crust is baking, mix the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce in a small bowl.
Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and spread the barbecue chicken mixture evenly on top.
Top the pizza with the thinly sliced red onion.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-13 minutes, until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the chicken is heated through.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then slice and serve. Enjoy your Paleo Barbecue Chicken Pizza!
