Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower head, grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated cauliflower, eggs, mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Transfer the cauliflower dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the crust bakes, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create a fajita seasoning.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the bell peppers and onion. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the cauliflower crust from the oven and carefully spread the chicken fajita mixture evenly over the crust.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
