KETO PIZZA- GRILLED CHICKEN & SPINACH #ketofood #healthyfood

First let Pine Tree State begin by apologizing for the standard of the photos during this post. This was spur of the moment and I really really wanted to document and share this with you!  Second- no I am not a healthy living, keto, gluten free, or paleo blogger. However, I do follow the keto way of eating and love to share recipes. I do not feel like I have to be an expert to do this. I am a home chef, I test all recipes (documenting this was spur of the moment but I have made this recipe plenty of times) and I calculate the nutrition information for you, it is listed below.

This recipe is absolutely amazing, what a fantastic flavor combination! I am so glad I can eat pizza on keto.

We are glad to hear you like it!

So, here we go !  A small cheese pizza this size has about 733 calories and 77 grams of carbs (Read details here)

My pizza has 688 calories, and 5 NET carbs!  Now, do not drop when you see the fat amount. The fat is suppose to be high and the calculated amount is for the whole pizza. 54 grams.   27 grams per serving- 2 pieces.   You can easily cut back on this by using light cream cheese and milk instead of half & half.  

But, if you are following the keto way of eating you understand that this fat amount is perfectly ok!

Ingredients :

• 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1/2 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1/2 cup half & half or heavy whipping cream I used half & half, nutrition facts will change if using something else
• 1/4 tsp 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
• 1/2 cup part skim shredded mozzarella
• Sea salt & pepper to taste

FOR THE FATHEAD DOUGH:

• 2oz cream cheese 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella 1 egg, beaten 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/3 cup almond flour

Instructions :

To make the pizza crust: 

1. Melt mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Mixing often. 
2. In a separate bowl mix beaten egg with almond flour and remaining dough ingredients. 
3. Combine cheese mixture with flour and mix.  Mix. Keep mixing! Once a sticky dough consistency has been reached, refrigerate while preparing sauce and chicken. 
4. Saute the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until done. Remove, set aside.
5. 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.
6. Fold in spinach, cook just until wilted.
7. 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. 
8. Spread sauce/spinach mixture onto your cooked pizza crust. Top with chicken and shredded cheese
9. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Cut into 4 pieces.  Serves 2
