Make a satisfying, high-protein pizza with a sturdy, crispy crust made entirely from ground chicken. This recipe is simple to follow and works perfectly for low-carb or keto diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs 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 pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Place the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Create a slight rim for the crust edge.
  4. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is firm and lightly browned. Drain off any excess grease from the chicken crust.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust, leaving the edges clear.
  6. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange your desired toppings on top.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust, you can bake the crust for 5 minutes longer before adding toppings.
  • Use ground turkey or ground beef as a substitute for ground chicken if you prefer.
  • This crust holds up well to heavy toppings, but avoid overly wet ingredients to prevent sogginess.
