• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cooked chicken breast, diced - 150 grams

• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, egg, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.
3. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out 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, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by mixing soy sauce, sugar-free ketchup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
6. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell pepper and red onion until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
7. Add the diced chicken to the skillet along with the sweet and sour sauce, cooking until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Once the pizza crust is done, remove it from the oven and spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the top.
9. Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to heat everything through.
10. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before slicing and serving.
