Ingredients

Keto Pizza Crust

1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 168g
2 tbsp cream cheese 30g
¾ cup almond flour 90g
1 large egg

Pizza Toppings

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded approximately 140g
½ cup sugar-free BBQ sauce 120ml
¼ red onion, thinly sliced about 30g
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 113g
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper and set aside.
Make the crust: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until cheeses are fully melted.
Mix the dough: Add almond flour and egg to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well until a dough forms. Use your hands to knead the dough until smooth. If it's too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
Shape the crust: Place the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten into a circular pizza shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust: Remove the top parchment paper and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until it's lightly golden.
Prepare the toppings: While the crust is baking, toss the shredded chicken with sugar-free BBQ sauce until well-coated.
Assemble the pizza: Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with BBQ chicken, sliced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top of the pizza before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese and mozzarella are fully melted to make the dough easier to mix and handle.

If you don't have a microwave, melt the cheese in a double boiler on the stove.
