Keto Teriyaki Chicken Pizza

Recipe makes 2 pizzas (4 servings)

Ingredients:

Low-Carb Pizza Base (makes 2 pizzas)
1 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp psyllium husk powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 large egg
1 Tbsp olive oil
4-5 Tbsp hot water (as needed)

Teriyaki Chicken
10 ounces (280g) chicken breast, cut into small pieces
1 Tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp grated fresh ginger
¼ cup water
Optional: ½ tsp xanthan gum (for thickening)

Toppings:
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
¼ small red (purple) onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup cooked broccoli, chopped
Prepared teriyaki chicken
Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and olive oil. Stir to combine.

Gradually add hot water while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Divide the dough into 2 balls. Roll each one between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin circle (like a tortilla).

Cook each flattened pizza dough  in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden and pliable. Set aside.

Now, prepare the teriyaki chicken. 

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through and golden.

In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sweetener, garlic, ginger, and water. Pour over chicken.

Simmer for 5 – 7 minutes until sauce thickens. If needed, stir in xanthan gum to thicken more.

Set teriyaki chicken aside.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place partially cooked pizza dough  on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Top each with mozzarella cheese. Add sliced cherry tomatoes, onions, broccoli, and teriyaki chicken.

Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds.

Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Optional: Garnish with extra sesame seeds or a drizzle of low-carb teriyaki sauce before serving.
