Chicken Pizza

Alight, so I tried another recipe from Linda’s Low Carb website, Chicken Pizza.  I really liked the idea of the recipe, which is why I made it, but some of the topping on her version were not my favorite, so I changed it up a little for my tastes.  Here we go!

Ingredients:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4-5)
Pizza Sauce
Toppings Desired (I used peperoni and black olives)
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Salt



Place the chicken breast on a piece of plastic wrap and fold it over the top of the chicken.

Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken as thin as possible without tearing (which is super easy to do.) I was able to make it about ¼ inch think.

Place the chicken on a baking sheet (I used the stone bar pan). If you are using a cookie sheet, you may want to line it in foil. I was able to fit five flattened chicken breasts, but it will depend on their size.

Season both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning and garlic salt.



Top with pizza sauce, pizza toppings, and mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 400˚ F for 10-12 minutes.

I really liked these, and it’s pretty nice because you can vary it up with a ton of different toppings!  Next time I might try BBQ sauce, chopped bacon, with mozzarella cheese for a BBQ Chicken Pizza.  One of the things Linda's Low Carb commented on was that if you use veggies like onions or peppers, then you need to chop them pretty fine in order for them to become somewhat tender due to the short baking time.

Depending on the sauce amounts, this recipe is very Atkins friendly.  The pizza sauce I purchased was 6 carbs per ¼ cup of sauce.  Not too terribly bad, especially if you use far less.  Happy eating!
