Ingredients
Chicken Pizza Crust
- 1 lb ground chicken or finely shredded cooked chicken, patted dry
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup almond flour optional, for extra firmness
Toppings
- sugar-free pizza sauce as desired
- shredded mozzarella cheese as desired
- optional toppings such as basil, bell peppers, black olives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add almond flour if the mixture feels too wet.
- Place mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press into a 12-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Smooth the edges with a spatula.
- Bake the crust for 15–18 minutes, until golden and firm. Carefully flip the crust and bake for another 5 minutes to crisp both sides.
- Spread pizza sauce on the crust, then top with mozzarella and your desired toppings. Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted.
- For a bubbly, golden finish, broil for 1–2 minutes. Let rest 3 minutes before slicing.
