This Chicken Crust Pizza is a high-protein, low-carb alternative to traditional pizza with a flavorful and crispy chicken-based crust. Topped with classic pizza sauce, melted mozzarella, and your favorite toppings, it delivers all the comfort of pizza in a lighter and satisfying way.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni, vegetables, or favorite pizza toppings
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture into a thin round pizza crust shape on the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is firm and lightly golden.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven and carefully drain any excess liquid if necessary.
  7. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
  8. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and your preferred pizza toppings.
  9. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Bake the crust fully before adding toppings to help it stay firm.
  • Ground turkey can be substituted for ground chicken.
  • Use an air fryer or oven for reheating to maintain a crisp crust.
  • Barbecue sauce and red onions create a delicious barbecue chicken variation.
  • Vegetable toppings like mushrooms, spinach, peppers, and olives work especially well.
