Protein Pizza

After a bit of over-indulgence at Christmas, many of us are cutting back and following a healthier eating regime. If you are floundering with your current eating plan, but don’t want to completely go off the rails, our protein pizza may just be the answer to your SOS. This recipe uses chicken to replace the dough base. Now you might be thinking that this won’t be very satisfying, however, this recipe has now regularly replaced my Friday night pizza, as I don’t feel the heavy bloating that is normally experienced after a dough-overload but it still gives all the same flavours. If you like an extra kick to your food, you can add a teaspoon of tandoori masala to the tomato sauce. Zap the QR code to get authentic Punjabi tandoori masala. The quantities below serve one

You will need:

1 chicken breast Salt,
Pepper and dried oregano (to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic puree
1 ½ tablespoons tomato puree
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon
Pure Punjabi tandoori masala (optional)
25g grated cheese (I use Manchego cheese)
3 or 4 basil leaves

Method:

1. Turn your oven onto 180 degree Celsius/ 350 Fahrenheit/ gas mark 4.

2. Take the chicken breast and slice in half width ways, to give you two thin chicken breasts.

3. Place the chicken into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt, pepper and some dried oregano (all to taste).

4. In a separate bowl, mix the garlic puree, tomato puree and water together to make a tomato sauce. Pour this sauce over the two pieces of chicken, trying to cover every bit so that the sauce keeps the chicken tender in the oven.

5. Put the chicken into the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Whilst the chicken is cooking, grate the cheese and heat your grill to a medium/high heat. 6. After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese.

Grill for a couple of minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. Tear the basil leaves and sprinkle over the pizzas. Serve with a fresh green salad.
