Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 400 degrees and melt 3½ cups shredded mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl for approximately 2 minutes, stirring to ensure complete melting, then let cool slightly.
  3. 2. Whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a separate bowl, then beat the egg into the melted cheese using an electric mixer.
  4. 3. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the cheese mixture, blending with a mixer or food processor until a uniform dough forms, then knead briefly on a lightly floured surface.
  5. 4. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment to ⅛ to ¼ inch thickness, remove the top parchment, and transfer to a baking sheet.
  6. 5. Spread the garlic sauce and 1 tablespoon pesto over the crust, then arrange the chicken, tomatoes, bell pepper, fresh mozzarella slices, and remaining ½ cup shredded cheese on top, dotting with the remaining 1 tablespoon pesto.
  7. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  8. 6. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust begins to brown and the cheese bubbles.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
