This Chicken Crust Pizza is a game-changer, offering a low-carb, high-protein alternative to traditional pizza crusts. The crispy chicken base is topped with classic pizza toppings for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Toppings:

  • ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Chicken Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it into a round, even circle about ¼-inch thick, forming your pizza base.
  3. Bake the Crust: Bake the chicken crust for 30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is fully cooked.
  4. Add the Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the top, then layer with mozzarella slices, tomato rounds, and fresh basil.
  5. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven for 5 more minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  6. Slice and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra basil if desired and serve warm.
