Ingredients:

• 1.5lbs boneless chicken tenders

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the egg white, milk, and garlic. In another bowl, mix together both breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and thyme.

Dip chicken tenders into egg wash first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the well-coated tenders in a single layer on a cooling rack placed on top of baking sheet.

As you may or may not know my diet is limited...which I am not complaining about at all but it is then a must to be able to eat what I enjoy and still stay within it for competition prep. I am far enough out and in a build phase so there is a little wiggle room but not much!

So Mike was craving pizza and so was I but I knew I couldn't have the traditional or even the kinds I had made for us in the past soooo I decided to try this!! 

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups mashed sweet potatoes (~2 medium sweet potatoes)
• 1.5 cups almond flour (other flours would probably work too)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg white
• 1 cup shredded cheese (I used mozzarella, but any kind would work)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• Your choice of toppings (we used tobasco and chicken with some veggies!)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Combine crust ingredients in a large bowl; mix well.
3. Cover a pizza pan/baking sheet with tinfoil and coat with non-stick cooking spray...or it will probably stick and fall apart...past experience!
4. Using a spatula, spread the dough evenly into a large circle about 1/2 inch thick. For those of you who like thick crust be cautious if may not cook the full way if it is too thick!
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until center is firm and edges are lightly browned.
6. Remove crust from oven, add toppings, and bake for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is completely melted.
7. Remove pizza from oven, slice and enjoy!
