Introduction

This ground chicken pizza crust is a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pizza dough. It’s quick to prepare and makes a perfect base for your favorite toppings. Enjoy a tasty, protein-packed pizza that’s both satisfying and easy to make at home.

A round pizza sits on a white plate over a white marbled surface, showing a golden-brown crust with slight charring on the edges. The first layer is a red tomato sauce spread evenly under a thick layer of melted, creamy white cheese that covers almost the entire pizza. Scattered on top are small clusters of browned, crispy ground sausage and thin, round slices of reddish pepperoni, spaced evenly across the pizza. The cheese has some bubbling and golden-brown spots, adding texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

450 g ground chicken
2 large eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
20 pepperoni slices

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Spread the chicken mixture onto the prepared tray, shaping it into a round pizza crust about ¼ inch thick.
Step 4: Bake the crust for 20 minutes until it becomes firm and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 5: Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the pizza sauce over the surface.
Step 6: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
Step 7: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8: Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add chopped fresh basil or oregano to the crust mixture before baking.
Swap pepperoni for vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
Use mozzarella or cheddar cheese blends to customize the taste.
If the crust feels too wet, add a tablespoon of almond flour or grated parmesan to help bind it better.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent a soggy texture.
