Make a satisfying, high-protein pizza with this simple ground chicken crust recipe. It is low-carb, gluten-free, and holds up well to your favorite toppings for a guilt-free comfort food meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground chicken
  • 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 large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until they are just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Place 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. Create a slightly raised edge for the crust.
  4. Bake the chicken crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly browned. Drain any excess liquid that has accumulated on the surface.
  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 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the toppings are heated through.
  8. Let the chicken crust pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy base, you can bake the crust for 5 minutes longer before adding toppings.
  • If you are making this ahead, bake the crust fully, let it cool, wrap it tightly, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before topping and final bake.
  • Use high-quality, lean ground chicken for the best texture.
