Description

This Keto & Low-Carb Crust Pizza offers a delicious alternative to traditional pizza by using a ground chicken crust. It’s a perfect option for those following keto or low-carb diets, delivering a high-protein, flavorful base topped with your favorite keto-friendly ingredients. Ready in just 23 minutes, this easy-to-make pizza combines simplicity and healthy eating without compromising on taste.

Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the ground chicken, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Use a spatula or your hands to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Shape the Crust: Spread the chicken mixture onto the prepared sheet pan, shaping it into your desired pizza shape. Aim for a thin layer about 1/2 inch thick for a crispy crust.
  4. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crust is cooked through.
  5. Remove Excess Moisture: Carefully pat the cooked crust with paper towels to remove any excess moisture or fat, which helps keep the crust crisp.
  6. Add Toppings and Bake Again: Add your favorite keto-friendly toppings on the crust. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to melt toppings and finish cooking.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the crust dry after the first bake to avoid sogginess.
  • You can customize the topping with keto-friendly ingredients like mozzarella, pepperoni, vegetables, and low-carb sauces.
  • Use fresh Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Keep the crust thin to ensure crispiness and even cooking.
  • Allow the crust to cool slightly before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
