Make a sturdy, low-carb, high-protein pizza base using ground chicken instead of traditional dough. This recipe provides a delicious, gluten-free alternative perfect for keto dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 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, peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until they are just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture evenly into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick, forming a pizza crust shape. Make the edges slightly thicker for a better crust structure.
  4. Bake the chicken crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly browned. Drain off any excess liquid that pools on the surface using a paper towel.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust, leaving a small border for the edge.
  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 and the toppings are heated through.
  8. Let the chicken crust pizza cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the crispiest crust, ensure you press the chicken mixture thin and bake it until it is very firm before adding toppings.
  • If you prefer a stronger flavor, substitute half the ground chicken with ground turkey.
  • This recipe is an excellent flourless pizza crust option for those following a ketogenic diet.
