Ok, I am going to be right upfront and say I made this on a low-carb crust made of cauliflower and cheese...I know, ehhhhh...but actually it was pretty darn good. My sweetheart and I are continuing on our low carb diet with much success so in order to have our Friday night Pizza night we decided to give it a try. I am going to include the low carb crust recipe (with pics) here, but if you really don't want to go that way just make the pizza topping and sauce on my regular (already posted) pizza dough and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. If you want to try the low carb crust here it is:
Low carb pizza crust
2 c. grated raw cauliflower ( I did it in a food processor}
1 egg
1 c. mozzarella shredded cheese
1 t. oregano
1/2 t. minced garlic
1/2 t. onion salt
After grating cauliflower put it in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 8 minutes. Allow to cool. Then mix with remaining crust ingredients. Spray a cookie sheet or pizza pan with nonstick spray. Pat the "crust" int a 9-12" round on the pan. Spray with nonstick spray and bake for 15 minutes.
Here it is ready to bake:
After baking it looks like this:
That's the little bit of sauce I am about to spread on it.
If you are making the low carb crust, you will put the sauce and toppings on and then broil until the cheese melts.
Topping:
2 1-3 oz. cooked chicken
1/4 c. mozzarella cheese or feta cheese
1/2 c. spinach, cooked and drained
Alfredo sauce:
2 Light Garlic and Herb cheese wedges
2 T. Half and Half or milk
2 t. Parmesan cheese
In a small saucepan combine all sauce ingredients on medium heat, whisking until smooth. Pour over crust. Top with spinach, then chicken, then cheese. Bake or broil depending on which crust you choose.
