Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
Fat head pizza base:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (170 g/ 6 oz)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp almond flour (80 g/ 2.8 oz)
Pizza topping:
- 2 small chicken breasts (300 g/ 10.6 oz)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- pinch of black pepper
- 1 tsp ghee, duck fat or olive oil
- 1/4 cup sugar-free marinara sauce (60 ml/ 2 fl oz) - You can make your own marinara sauce in just 5 minutes!
- 2 balls of mozzarella, sliced (250 g/ 8.8 oz)
- 2 tbsp pesto (30 g/ 1.1 oz) - you can make your own pesto!
- 5 pieces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (15 g/ 0.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup fresh rocket (5 g/ 0.2 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F (fan assisted), or 220 °C/ 425 °F (conventional). Place the grated mozzarella cheese into a bowl and add the cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Mix with a spatula and microwave on high for another 30 seconds and mix. Add the egg and stir. Add salt, almond flour and mix until well combined.
- Place the dough on a heatproof baking mat and use your hands to flatten until about 1/2 - 1 cm (1/4 - 1/2 inch) thick. Alternatively, you can use a piece of parchment paper on top and roll the dough out. If the dough is sticky, use a bit of olive oil for greasing to dampen your hands when flattening the dough.
- Gently prick the dough with a fork and bake in the oven for 10 minutes until golden.
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Season the chicken with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Grease a griddle pan (or a regular pan) to prevent sticking. Preheat on a medium heat and char-grill the chicken for 4 - 5 minutes each side until cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow to rest before slicing.
- Remove the fathead pizza base from the oven and spread the sugar-free marinara sauce on top. Add slices of mozzarella and chicken breast.
- Place back in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with fresh sun-dried tomatoes, pesto and rocket.
- Enjoy warm! To store, let it cool down and place in the fridge for up to 3 days.
