Make a satisfying, high-protein chicken crust pizza that holds up to toppings. This recipe uses ground chicken for a sturdy, low-carb, and gluten-free pizza base perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground chicken (93% lean 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, 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 mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the chicken mixture firmly and evenly into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Make sure the edges are slightly raised to form a crust border.
  4. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm to the touch. Drain off any excess grease with a paper towel if necessary.
  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 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 the crispiest crust, press the chicken mixture as thin as you can without tearing it.
  • Using parchment paper is essential; do not use foil or silicone mats directly, as the crust may stick.
  • You can prepare and bake the crust ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for an easy make ahead pizza base.
