Here’s how to make all three!

CAULIFLOWER PIZZA WITH CHICKEN AND TZATZIKI SAUCE


5 ½ cups riced cauliflower

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips


10 kalamata olives


½ tsp Italian seasoning


¼ tsp black pepper


1 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella

HOW TO MAKE IT


Spread the cauliflower rice on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes until golden brown.


Remove from oven and allow to cool (keep oven on). Remove excess moisture from cauliflower.

Place cauliflower mixture onto the baking sheet and press into a 12-inch circle or desired shape.


In medium bowl, add chicken strips, olives, Italian seasoning and pepper toss to combine. Arrange chicken strips and olives on top of crust and then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.


Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes until golden brown.


While pizza bakes, make Tzatziki sauce, combine grated cucumbers (squeeze out moisture) yogurt garlic and ¼ tsp salt.
