Ingredients
1.5 cups low-fat cottage cheese (well-drained)
2 large egg whites
1 cup almond flour (fine-ground)
0.5 cup buffalo sauce (no added sugar)
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
0.5 cup mozzarella cheese (part-skim)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Blend cottage cheese, egg whites, and seasoning in a food processor until smooth.
Fold in almond flour to form a thick dough.
Spread the dough into a thin, even circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes until edges firm and slightly golden.
Mix shredded chicken with half the buffalo sauce.
Brush the remaining buffalo sauce over the crust.
Top with buffalo chicken mixture and mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes until mozzarella melts and crust is golden.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are well-drained to avoid a soggy crust.
Substitute buffalo sauce with homemade or store-bought options free of artificial additives.
This pizza is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
