Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings (suggestions):

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni slices
  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Sliced black olives
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the Crust:
    • Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, press it out into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick, forming your pizza crust.
  4. Bake the Crust:
    • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is cooked through.
  5. Add Toppings:
    • Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over it.
    • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
    • Add your favorite toppings (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, olives).
  6. Bake Again:
    • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
    • Slice and serve your keto chicken crust pizza hot.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the chicken mixture.
  • Make sure to drain any excess moisture from the ground chicken before mixing to ensure a crispier crust.
  • Customize your pizza with any low-carb toppings you prefer.
