🍕🐔 Chicken Crust Pizza (Low-Carb)
A high-protein, low-carb pizza where the “dough” is made from seasoned ground chicken instead of flour. It’s crispy on the edges, sturdy enough to hold toppings, and surprisingly satisfying.
🛒 Ingredients:
🍗 Chicken crust:
- 1 lb ground chicken (or finely shredded cooked chicken)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
🍅 Toppings:
- ½–¾ cup pizza sauce (low sugar if possible)
- 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni, cooked chicken, or veggies of choice
- Optional: olives, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven
Set to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make chicken crust
Mix ground chicken, Parmesan, egg, and seasonings in a bowl until well combined.
3. Shape crust
Spread mixture onto baking sheet and flatten into a thin circle or rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
Make edges slightly thicker for a “pizza crust” shape.
4. Pre-bake crust
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until:
- Firm
- Slightly golden
- Fully cooked
Carefully drain excess moisture if needed.
5. Add toppings
Spread pizza sauce over crust.
Add mozzarella and toppings of choice.
6. Final bake
Return to oven for 8–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Rest & slice
Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting so it holds together.
