Description

This Chicken Crust Pizza is an easy, low-carb alternative to traditional pizza, using ground chicken as the base for a crispy, protein-packed crust. Topped with classic pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices, it’s a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for those seeking to reduce carbs without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 450 g ground chicken
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 20 pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until fully combined, forming the pizza crust base.
  3. Form Crust: Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even circle or rectangle to create an even crust thickness for consistent baking.
  4. Bake Crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until it becomes golden and firm. Remove it and let it rest for 5 minutes to set properly before adding toppings.
  5. Add Toppings: Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
  6. Bake Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  7. Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly after baking. Slice and enjoy this crispy, cheesy low-carb pizza!

Notes

  • Make sure to press the chicken crust evenly to avoid uneven cooking.
  • Allowing the crust to rest after the first bake helps it firm up and hold toppings better.
  • You can customize toppings to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
  • Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
