Ingredients: 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Crust:
1/4 cup soy protein isolate
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
1/2 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon quick rise dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Sauce:
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes with jalapeños
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 dash oregano
1 dash salt
1 packet artificial sweetener of choice
1 tablespoon dry minced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Toppings:
8 black olives, sliced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated smoked Gouda
Instructions: Grill two boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked, about 8-10 minutes per side. Set aside.

Prepare Crust:
Blend the dry ingredients together thoroughly, including the dry yeast. Beat the eggs to a froth and add the oil and garlic. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix together. Set aside, covered with a damp cloth, in a warm (not hot) place for ten minutes. I place the bowl inside a bowl of warm water (85°F).

Prepare the Sauce:
Mix all sauce ingredients together and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare an 11" tart pan that has a quick release bottom with spray oil.

Turn out the crust mixture, which will be soft and sticky, onto waxed paper or a pastry board that has been sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Gently coat the dough ball with the Parmesan until it is dry enough to handle. Using your hands, press the dough evenly into the tart pan, pushing the edges up the fluted sides. If it becomes too sticky, add more Parmesan. Pierce the surface several places with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes and remove.

Coat the bottom of the crust with the sauce and top with grilled chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces and other toppings except Gouda. Return to oven for 15 minutes then remove and top with Gouda cheese. Cut with pizza wheel.
