Low-Carb Chicken Pizza
By losing the dough and using thinly pounded chicken as the crust, I put my own low-carb spin on traditional pizza.
Ingredients
- 4 four-ounce skinless chicken breasts, or cutlets
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 link chicken or turkey sausage
- ½ cup marinara sauce *
- ½ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat the baking sheet with oil spray.
- Pound the chicken breasts very thin using a mallet or heavy can and arrange the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Sauté the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms in a skillet coated with oil spray over medium-high heat until soft and browned, about five minutes. Recoat the same pan with oil spray and cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until fully cooked. Slice the sausage into rounds.
- Top each cooked chicken breast with 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, ¼ of the sautéed vegetables, ¼ of the turkey sausage slices, and 2 tablespoons cheese. Place the chicken back in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
Notes
*Note: For celiac disease, check marinara sauce label to ensure it’s gluten-free.
