INSTRUCTIONS

To make the pizza crust: 

1. goog_1057424639Melt mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Mixing often. 
2. In a separate bowl mix beaten egg with almond flour and remaining dough ingredients. 
3. Combine cheese mixture with flour and mix.  Mix. Keep mixing! Once a sticky dough consistency has been reached, refrigerate while preparing sauce and chicken. 
4. Saute the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until done. Remove, set aside.
5. Add garlic plus the xantham gum with half & half to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer when sauce starts to thicken.
6. Fold in spinach, cook just until wilted.
7. Using hands, work dough out into a circle on a pizza pan. Bake on 350 for 10 minutes.  Crust must be pre-baked to hold up to the sauce and toppings. 
8. Spread sauce/spinach mixture onto your cooked pizza crust. Top with chicken and shredded cheese
9. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
10. NOTE* if your oven and pizza crust wasn’t already hot from making the dough, bake for 10 minutes instead.
11. Allow to cool a few minutes. 
12. Cut into 4 pieces.  Serves 2
