Description
A delicious, high-protein, and keto-friendly pizza crust made entirely from chicken. Perfect for those looking for a gluten-free alternative to traditional pizza.
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional: Pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg, and all spices. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms.
Step 3: Place the chicken mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll or press the mixture into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4: Remove the top layer of parchment and bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the surface is firm to the touch.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and add your desired pizza sauce, extra cheese, and toppings.
Step 6: Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the crust to set firmly.
Notes
Ensure the ground chicken is lean for a firmer crust. Using parchment paper is mandatory to prevent sticking.
