Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 large Chicken breast
• 1 cup Paleo BBQ sauce
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 Bell pepper
• 1 cup Mushrooms
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 2 tsp Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, and baking powder. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the egg and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.

Step 4

Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press it out into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges.

Step 6

While the crust is baking, prepare the chicken. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 7

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

Shred the grilled chicken and toss it with half of the Paleo BBQ sauce.

Step 9

Thinly slice the red onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms.

Step 10

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the top.

Step 11

Top the crust with the shredded barbecue chicken, onion slices, bell pepper, and mushrooms.

Step 12

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked and the edges of the crust are crispy.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
