Prep Time:15 minutes

Cook Time15 minutes

Total Time30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • ½ tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup half & half or heavy whipping cream, I used half & half, nutrition facts will change if using something else
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum, thickener found near the yeast or sweetener aisle This comes in a small packet like yeast and is only about 40¢
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup part skim shredded mozzarella
  • Sea salt & pepper, to taste
  • FOR THE FATHEAD DOUGH:
  • 2oz cream cheese ¾ cup shredded mozzarella 1 egg, beaten ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ⅓ cup almond flour

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To make the pizza crust: 
  2. Melt mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Mixing often. 
  3. In a separate bowl mix beaten egg with almond flour and remaining dough ingredients. 
  4. Combine cheese mixture with flour and mix.  Mix. Keep mixing! Once a sticky dough consistency has been reached, refrigerate while preparing sauce and chicken. 
  5. Saute the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until done. Remove, set aside.
  6. Add garlic plus the xantham gum with half & half to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer when sauce starts to thicken.
  7. Fold in spinach, cook just until wilted.
  8. Using hands, work dough out into a circle on a pizza pan. Bake on 350 for 10 minutes.  Crust must be pre-baked to hold up to the sauce and toppings. 
  9. Spread sauce/spinach mixture onto your cooked pizza crust. Top with chicken and shredded cheese
  10. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  11. NOTE if your oven and pizza crust wasn’t already hot from making the dough, bake for 10 minutes instead.
  12. Allow to cool a few minutes. 
  13. Cut into 4 pieces.  Serves 2
