A low-carb, keto-friendly pizza featuring a crispy chicken crust that is crunchy on the edges and tender inside, topped with cheese and your favorite keto toppings. Quick and easy to make, perfect for a guilt-free comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim preferred)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or your choice of pizza cheese
  • Keto-friendly toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives
  • Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, beaten egg, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until sticky and dough-like. If too wet, add 1 tablespoon almond flour to bind.
  3. Transfer the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Press into a roughly 10-inch circle about ¼-inch thick, ensuring even thickness.
  4. Bake the crust for 20 minutes until edges brown and crust firms up.
  5. Remove crust from oven. Spread sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and add your chosen toppings.
  6. Return pizza to oven and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and toppings are cooked.
  7. Let pizza rest on a cooling rack for 5 minutes to crisp further. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired before slicing.

Notes

Press the chicken crust evenly to avoid soggy spots or burnt edges. Bake the crust fully before adding toppings to maintain crispness. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. If dairy-free, substitute cheese with vegan alternatives and use a flax egg as binder. Reheat leftovers in oven or toaster oven to keep crust crispy; avoid microwaving.
