Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a bowl, mix the almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until a dough forms.
3. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and use your hands to flatten it into a round pizza shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
5. While the crust is baking, combine the shredded smoked chicken with the sugar-free BBQ sauce in a bowl.

7. Sprinkle the red onion slices and cheddar cheese over the chicken.
