Lesson #19: LEAN CHICKEN PIZZA

Lean chicken pizza

A great recipe for gluten free low carb and high protein

Ingredients (4 servings):

Base:

• 500 g chicken breast (or use already grounded chicken breast) Try to avoid the packet chicken mince as there is generally more saturated fat in there
• 1 whole egg
• Cracked pepper & sea salt to taste
• Optional flavour: chilli powder or spice of choice

Topping:

• Tomato based sauce (blended fresh tomato and fresh basil)
• spices of choice – oregano is my choice
• 1/2 onion sliced how you like it
• 1 bell pepper (1/2 green, 1/2 yellow)
• 100 – 125 g mushrooms
• Small handful black kalamata olives
• Sprinkle of Low-No fat ricotta over the pizza

Directions:

• Put the chicken breast in the blender if not grounded already or cut it in very small pieces as this is the base of the pizza
• In a mixing bowl, add the blended chicken, egg, pepper & sea salt and spice you choose to
• Spread the base of a baking dish so that the whole base is covered. Lay some baking paper so that it doesn’t stick to tray or spray tray with rice bran oil spray
• Put in oven at 180 degrees oven for 20-25 mins until the mixture is a dark brown.
• Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
• Cover with the bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, olives and ricotta and place back in the oven
• Cook for a further 15-20 minutes
