Chicken Crust Pizza

Good Morning!  

It feels so much like Spring!  It is so uplifting!  I hope this finds you all well, happy and healthy!  Speaking of healthy, I know lots of you are on the Keto way of life.  My good friend Nacine is as well and this recipe is a knock off of something she made.  This is incredible and if you DO eat carbs, maybe add it to a toasted roll and eat it as a sandwich or eat leftovers on a sandwich!  Way to turn THAT train around eh Chris?!

Here is the thing about this recipe.  It is so subjective.  You use what you like.  In the video which is linked below, you can see what I used.  Pepperoni, meatballs, mushrooms, pizza sauce, 2 cheeses.  If my husband wasn't eating I would have added bell pepper as well!  Whatever pizza toppings you enjoy is what you should use.  The amount you will need completely depends on how many people you are feeding.  Either split your chicken breasts in half thickness and you can pound them out a little thinner, or cut them in half thickness wise and leave them.  You can also purchase thin sliced chicken breasts.  I mean, the world is your sandwich, just do what you like!

  Here are the ingredients you definitely need, I will add options last and I made 6!

3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, thin (resulted in 6 pizzas)
3/4 cup Pizza Sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese of your choice

I also used:
Pepperoni
Meatballs
Mushrooms

Other options:
Browned Italian sausage, ham, ground beef, etc.
Onions, olives bell peppers, spinach, fresh sliced tomatoes, etc.

Brown your chicken breasts in olive oil after seasoning them with salt, pepper and pizza seasoning.  Here is the recipe for my homemade pizza seasoning which is what I used.  Pizza Seasoning  They do not HAVE to be done all the way through as you will be putting the in the oven for about 20 minutes.  When they are browned, place them on a baking sheet.  Proceed to add toppings to each one just as you would a pizza.  Place in a 375 oven for 15-20 minutes until melty and a little browned, bubbly and SCRUMPTIOUS!  Serve with a big green salad and OOF!  Yum!

I hope you enjoy this recipe.  If you make them, make sure to tag me on Instagram @ftchefwannabe!  I would love to see them!

As always.......

ENJOY!

Egg Roll In A Bowl

Hello my friends!  I do hope this new recipe finds you enjoying the beginning or summer and warm weather!

This is a recipe I was introduced to by my friend Nacine.  She follows a ketogenic way of eating and this recipe was a must make from the moment I saw it.  I know there are 10,000 versions but I wanted to make this one.  Nacine and I have collaborated by picking a recipe of each others and making it.  Check out her channel and see what she thinks of my Quick Pickles!  You can click here.

This turned out just as amazing I thought it would.  It literally tastes like the inside of an egg roll and I love egg rolls!  I want to note a couple of things I did differently. She used broccoli slaw and I used cabbage slow mix.  Whichever you use, it will be amazing.  I used ground turkey and she used ground beef.  Again....whatever you choose is going to be perfect.  Ready for it?  Me too!

You will need:
1lb ground beef, turkey or pork
1, oz16 pkg slow mix (cabbage or broccoli)
2-3 stalks of celery chopped
1 cup shredded carrots (2-3 or cheat and use already grated!)
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp pepper (black or white)
2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce

In a high sided pan brown your ground meat.  If you ground meat rendered a lot of fat, drain it off!  Add in onion powder, garlic, pepper and veggies.  Mic until completely combined, stirring on medium heat.  When all ingredients are combined, taste it, see if you need to adjust any seasonings.  When you have it just perfect, turn heat to LOW, put the lid on and let sit for 405 minutes.  If you want very soft veggies let it go about 7 minutes.

This is really delicious and it will be a staple in our house from now on!  I hope you enjoy it too!

Might I saw, you could roll this up in some egg roll wrappers and have legit delicious egg rolls too!
