Crust Ingredients
- 1 can of chicken (12.5 oz), drained
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Chicken: Drain the canned chicken well and place it in a large mixing bowl, breaking up any clumps.
- Add Ingredients: Add shredded mozzarella cheese, almond flour, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the bowl with the chicken.
- Mix Ingredients: Thoroughly mix all ingredients until a well-combined, dough-like mixture forms, ensuring even distribution of seasoning and binding.
- Shape Crust: Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a pizza crust approximately 8-10 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes until it turns golden brown and holds together firmly.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings, such as sauce, additional cheese, vegetables, or meats.
- Final Bake: Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and toppings are heated through.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with any mild melting cheese, such as Monterey Jack or cheddar.
- Ensure the canned chicken is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the crust.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- For a crispier crust, bake a few extra minutes before adding toppings.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
