BEST Pizza EVER! Yes it's Bariatric Friendly!

[beachgal2935 596]

When you've gotten to the stage where you can eat meat and you LOVE pizza like I do, give my recipe a try! The crust is made with ground chicken breast. I've included pictures for those who are "visual" like I am. Last time I made the crusts, I bought the 3 lb. package of ground chicken breast and it made 19 individual crusts. I put them in the green container and keep it in my freezer. When reheating, I use a pizza stone. I'll take a crust out of the freezer, put the stone in the oven and set it at 450°. Once heated I put the crust on the hot stone for about 30 seconds on each side. Then pull the stone out of oven, top the pizza and return to oven for 6 minutes. The pizza stone creates a crispier crust, especially the edges - YUM! Let me know if you have any questions or how you like it.

PIZZA CRUST – (Chicken)

Ingredients

• One pound ground (raw) chicken breast
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan
• ¼ cup Reduced fat 4 cheese Italian shredded cheese – ¼ cup shredded cheese is 1 oz. by weight
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black or cayenne pepper (I used cayenne)

Tools

• Mixing bowl (stand mixer - easiest combing method)
• Baking sheet, pizza pan or pizza stone (crispiest crust)
• Parchment paper
• Wax paper
• Rolling pin
• Pam or any vegetable non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

1. In a medium bowl combine all of the above ingredients.

1. Place a wet paper towel on a flat surface then place your parchment paper on it. Spray it with Pam and then put your chicken mixture on top. Mixture makes 6 – 3 oz. portions, so 6 individual crusts. Lightly spray a sheet of wax paper with non-stick cooking spray (makes for easy removal). Place wax paper, sprayed side down and evenly press using a rolling pin to get it as thin as you’d like. Remove the wax paper and place parchment paper on pan bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).

1. Put the crust between two paper towels and pat to absorb any grease. It is chicken after all. Then place it on a new sheet of parchment before topping it. Top baked crust with sauce, cheese and you favorite healthy toppings.

1. Place back in oven on baking sheet or preheated pizza stone and cook until melted and bubbly 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy! If you bake it on a pizza stone it will get crispier.
