Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup Tomato sauce, no added sugar
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, melted coconut oil, salt, and baking powder. Mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Transfer the dough along with the bottom parchment onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, prepare the toppings. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir until well coated and fragrant.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast over the sauce as a cheese alternative.
Top with seasoned chicken, sliced bell pepper, and sliced red onion.
Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the edges are golden and toppings are cooked.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.
