Clean Eating Pizza

This is, by far, the BEST clean recipe we have tried.  We were both doubting it but gave it a try and we are very glad we did!  The recipe is by Toni Cisneros (she gets all the credit!).  So maybe this picture isn't the best but take our word for it...go to your kitchen & make it NOW! :)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken breast
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 Tbsp basil
• 1/2 Tbsp oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 cup tomato/spaghetti sauce (organic or homemade)
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• ***Your choice of clean toppings.  We have used spinach, red bell pepper, cucumber, onion, & red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix the "crust" (ground chicken breast, Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, egg whites & oats) by hand.

3. Flatten the "crust" on a pizza stone or in a 9X13" pan.

4. Bake the "crust" at 350 degrees for 20 min.

5. Take out the "crust" & add the tomato/spaghetti sauce & spread evenly.

6. Add the cottage cheese on top of the tomato/spaghetti sauce & spread evenly.

7. Add your choice of toppings.

8. Place pizza back in the oven for 10 min or until the cheese is the consistency you prefer.

9. Enjoy!  

He & She Tip: Mix all the spices in a separate bowl & taste test it until you find your desired flavor combo. This will also help to get all the flavors mixed before adding to the meat.

Gluten Free Version: Use Gluten-Free Rolled Oats as an alternative
