This Chicken Crust Pizza recipe offers a low-carb alternative to traditional pizza by using ground chicken as the base for the crust. It’s a protein-packed, gluten-free option that’s topped with gooey cheese and your favorite pizza toppings, then baked to perfection for a deliciously crispy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Crust

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg

Pizza Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Assorted toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni slices, bell peppers, onions, olives)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Crust: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and the egg. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated to form the crust mixture.
  2. Bake the Chicken Crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a thin, round pizza crust shape on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is firm and cooked through.
  3. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and add your preferred pizza toppings.
  4. Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are heated through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken crust is cooked thoroughly before adding toppings to prevent undercooking.
  • You can customize toppings based on your dietary preferences or what you have available.
  • For a crisper crust, you can broil the pizza for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Using a mixture of mozzarella and parmesan cheese in the crust can add more depth of flavor.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low-carb.
