Chicken Crust Pizza Recipe

Table of Contents

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken (or cooked shredded chicken)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (low-carb or regular)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.

2. Make the Chicken Crust:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

3. Shape the Crust:

  • Place the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Using your hands or a spatula, press the mixture into a thin, even layer, forming a pizza crust shape. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick.

4. Bake the Crust:

  • Bake the chicken crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

5. Add Toppings:

  • Remove the crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on top. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and add your favorite pizza toppings.

6. Bake Again:

  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve:

  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Shredded Chicken Option: If you prefer to use shredded chicken, simply blend or finely chop it to form the crust base. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
  • Crispier Crust: For a crispier crust, broil the pizza for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.

This Chicken Crust Pizza is perfect for those looking for a low-carb pizza option that’s still satisfying and packed with flavor!
