Alfredo Chicken Crust Pizza

About

It would be a sin to ask you to give up pizza! This delicious keto pizza is made with a chicken crust base. You can find the chicken pizza crust recipe in the Carb Manager app, and you will need it prepared before beginning this recipe. The pizza is smothered in creamy alfredo sauce and topped with fresh arugula and gooey mozzarella cheese. Bon appetit!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup heavy cream
1 cup, shredded parmesan cheese
8 slices keto chicken pizza crust
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon oregano, dried
¼ teaspoon basil, dried
¼ ounce arugula
2 slice (from pre-sliced package) – each 3/4 ounce mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Begin by making the alfredo sauce for the pizza. Melt the butter in a medium sized skillet over low heat. Then, slowly whisk in the heavy cream in 3-4 additions. Whisk until the fats have emulsified.
In about 3 additions, slowly whisk in the parmesan cheese, making sure each addition is completely melted before adding in more. Whisk until you get a thick and creamy alfredo sauce.
Remove the alfredo sauce from the stove top. Transfer the sauce to a bowl or plate, and place it in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until the sauce is cooled and coagulated.
Once the sauce is cooled, preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Place your already prepared and frozen chicken crust on a flat surface. Spread the alfredo sauce over the chicken crust, making sure to leave the edges bare, like you would a regular pizza. Then sprinkle the pepper, oregano, and basil over the sauce.
Arrange the arugula and mozzarella cheese over the pizza as pictured.
For baking, you will need to place the prepared pizza on the pan that has been turned over. Choose a pan that is slightly bigger than your pizza or the same pan you formed your chicken crust in. Line the exposed side of the pan with parchment paper before placing the pizza on top.
If your chicken crust has become soft during the assembly process, return the prepared pizza to the freezer for 5-10 minutes, just so the chicken can become solid and sturdy for the baking process. Then, bake the pizza on your overturned pan in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese and edges of the pizza are browned.
Once baked, let the pizza cool for approx.10 minutes before slicing it into 8 slices. Enjoy!
