A delicious low-carb, high-protein Chicken Crust Pizza featuring a crispy chicken base topped with savory marinara, melted mozzarella, and your choice of classic pizza toppings. Perfect for those seeking a gluten-free and keto-friendly twist on traditional pizza.

Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Toppings

  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni, vegetables, or mushrooms (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken crust.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to form a sticky dough-like mixture.
  3. Form the Crust: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and press the chicken mixture into a pizza shape, ensuring an even thickness for consistent cooking.
  4. Bake the Crust: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the crust is set and beginning to crisp.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and arrange optional toppings such as pepperoni, vegetables, or mushrooms.
  6. Bake with Toppings: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and toppings to cook.
  7. Broil for Browning (Optional): For an extra golden and bubbly cheese top, broil the pizza for 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • Drain excess moisture thoroughly from cooked chicken to avoid a soggy crust.
  • Using rotisserie chicken can save time and enhance flavor.
  • Leftover pizza can be frozen and reheated later for convenience.
