Chicken Crust Pizza #pizza #highprotein #recipe #easymeals #fyp #cooking

A delicious low-carb pizza with a crispy chicken-based crust, topped with your favorite ingredients!

Ingredients:

For the crust:
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg

For the toppings:
• ½ cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Pepperoni slices
• 1 jalapeño, sliced
• ¼ cup black olives, sliced
• ½ cup fresh spinach

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix ground chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and egg until well combined.
3. Shape the crust: Spread the mixture onto a greased baking pan or parchment-lined tray, forming an even layer. If your pan is smaller, the crust will be thicker.
4. Bake the crust: Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. If the crust is thick, check for doneness and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes if needed.
5. Add toppings: Spread pizza sauce over the cooked crust, then top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, jalapeños, olives, and spinach (or any toppings of choice).
6. Bake again: Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve and enjoy! Let it cool slightly before by @veronicacancook

Garlic butter Steak! High in protein and easy to make.#healthyhabits #healthymeals #easymeals #motivation #caloriecounting #dinnerideas #steak #fyp #atomichabits #food #cooking

Ingredients:
• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steaks:
• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
• Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan:
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it’s hot and shimmering.
3. Sear the Steaks:
• Add the steaks to the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms.
• Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness).
4. Add Garlic Butter and Thyme:
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add butter, minced garlic, and thyme sprigs to the pan.
• As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted garlic butter.
5. Rest the Steaks:
• Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
6. Serve:
• Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle with the remaining garlic butter from the pan.

Tips:
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy:
• Rare: 125°F
• Medium-Rare: 135°F
• Medium: 145°F
• Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak! by @veronicacancook
