Make a satisfying, low-carb pizza using a crispy ground chicken crust instead of flour. This high-protein dinner idea is simple to prepare and holds toppings well.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite low-carb toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Place the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture out evenly into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Create a slightly raised edge for the crust.
  4. Bake the chicken crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly browned. This step is key for a sturdy pizza base.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust, leaving a small border.
  6. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your chosen toppings.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the **chicken crust pizza** cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the crispiest crust, press the chicken mixture as thin as you can manage without tearing it.
  • If you find the mixture too wet, add one tablespoon of almond flour (if not strictly Keto) or an extra tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
  • Use a spatula to carefully slide the parchment paper and crust onto a cooling rack for a few minutes before topping to help prevent a soggy bottom.
