Ingredients
- For the Chicken Pizza Crust:
- 20 oz canned chicken, drained well
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- High Protein Caesar Dressing:
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 anchovy
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- For the Salad:
- 2 heads romaine lettuce, washed and dried, chopped
- Extra grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make the Chicken Crust: In a food processor, combine canned chicken, egg, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until the mixture is well incorporated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down gently to form a circle about 1/4 inch thick. If the mixture is sticky, lightly oil your hands to shape the crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Prepare the Caesar Dressing: While the crust is baking, add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, anchovy, garlic, parmesan cheese, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the Pizza: Toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the high-protein Caesar dressing. Once the chicken crust has cooled, top it with the dressed salad. Sprinkle with extra grated parmesan and ground black pepper.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy your healthy, high-protein Caesar salad pizza!
Notes
- The chicken crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer a spicier crust, add more red pepper flakes.
