Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower head
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Whole30-approved barbecue sauce
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.5 Green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, microwave it for 5 minutes, and let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a dough.
Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circular pizza crust about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until it becomes golden and firm to the touch.
While the crust is baking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and slice thinly.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the baked crust.
Top the pizza with cooked chicken slices, thinly sliced red onion, and green bell pepper.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
