Make a sturdy, high-protein pizza crust using ground chicken. This recipe delivers a satisfying, low-carb, and gluten-free base perfect for your favorite toppings.

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 choice of low-carb 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 fully incorporated.
  3. Place the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture evenly into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Create a slightly raised edge for the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm. Drain any excess liquid from the crust.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border.
  6. Top with mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the crispiest crust, make sure to press the chicken mixture thin and drain liquid after the first bake.
  • You can prepare and pre-bake the crust ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use high-quality, finely grated Parmesan cheese for better binding.
