Nutrition Facts: 299 calories  / 30g carbs / 20g protein / 11.5g fat (for 2 slices)

Ingredients:

Kale Pesto:

  • 4 cups (64g) raw kale (stems removed, chopped)
  • 3 cups (18g) fresh basil
  • ¼ cup (54g) olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Pizza:

  • 2 “Caulipower” cauliflower pizza crusts (345g)
  • 1 cup (112g) “Kraft” low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cups (420g) cooked chicken breast (diced)
  • 1 cup (16g) raw kale (stems removed, chopped)
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • Optional: basil leaves or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Make pesto by adding 4 cups of the kale (reserve 1 cup for later), basil, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, or use a pizza stone.
  3. Place cauliflower crust (still frozen!) on the prepared sheets or pizza stone. Divide the pesto between the 2 pizza crusts and spread evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Distribute 1 ½ cups of chopped chicken onto each pizza, and top with ½ cup of shredded cheese per pizza.
  5. Place the remaining 1 cup of kale in a small bowl. Spray evenly with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Distribute the chopped kale pieces evenly over the 2 pizzas. Garnish with more basil leaves or red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown. Slice each pizza into 6 slices. Enjoy!

Notes:

  1. Time saver tip: buy pre-cooked chicken breast (such as “Butterball” fully cooked chicken breast or a rotisserie chicken) and pre-packaged chopped kale.
