Ingredients

• 1 medium head (about 1 pound) Cauliflower
• 1.5 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup shredded Cooked chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free barbecue sauce
• 0.25 sliced thin Red onion
• 0.25 cup chopped Cilantro
• 0.5 cup shredded Provolone cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is finely chopped and resembles rice.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a non-soggy crust.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.

Step 6

Press the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, even circle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with olive oil.

Step 7

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and firm the edges.

Step 8

While the crust bakes, combine shredded chicken with barbecue sauce in a separate bowl and set aside.

Step 9

Once the crust is golden, remove it from the oven. Evenly spread the barbecue chicken mixture onto the baked crust.

Step 10

Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and sliced red onion.

Step 11

Place the pizza back in the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
