Make a satisfying, high-protein chicken crust pizza that is low carb and gluten free. This recipe gives you a sturdy base for all your favorite toppings, making it a perfect guilt free pizza night option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken (93% lean or higher recommended)
  • 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 low carb toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium 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 parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into a circle or rectangle shape, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick, forming your pizza crust. Make sure the edges are slightly raised.
  4. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm. Drain off any excess liquid that has accumulated on the crust.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust, leaving a small border.
  6. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your chosen low carb toppings.
  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 chicken crust pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust, you can bake the crust for 5 minutes before adding any toppings, then flip it over and bake the other side for 5 minutes before topping.
  • Use ground turkey if you prefer, but ground chicken provides a more neutral flavor base.
  • If you want a Caesar-style pizza, skip the tomato sauce and use a low-carb Caesar dressing as the base, topped with cooked chicken and romaine lettuce after baking.
