Cauliflower pizza with chicken and pesto
Crispy cauliflower base with chicken and pesto, perfect for Phase 1 with minimal carbs.
Cauliflower pizza with chicken and pesto proves that pizza night and a protein diet work brilliantly together. The base of finely riced cauliflower becomes crispy in the oven, whilst chicken, pesto and melted mozzarella deliver that familiar, savoury pizza flavour without heavy dough.
In Phase 1, it's all about low carbs and plenty of protein, and this protein-rich pizza fits perfectly. The cauliflower base keeps carbs low, whilst over forty grams of protein from chicken, egg and mozzarella keep you satisfied for hours. You'll easily stay within your targets and still feel like you're treating yourself.
Lovely with a fresh rocket and cucumber salad with a squeeze of lemon, or a handful of extra cherry tomatoes for more colour and juiciness on your plate.
