How to Make Chicken Pizza Crust

  • Making your own chicken pizza crust is easier than you might think! With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a crispy, flavorful base ready for your favorite toppings. Follow this guide to achieve the perfect texture every time.

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the crust bakes evenly and gets that perfect crisp.
  • Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine:
  • o 1 lb ground chicken
  • o ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • o ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • o 1 large egg
  • o ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • o ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • o Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Use a spoon (or your hands) to mix everything until well combined. The mixture will be slightly sticky but should hold together.

Step 3: Shape the Crust

  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Use your hands or a spatula to press it into a thin, even circle or rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
  • Make sure the edges are slightly thicker to prevent crumbling.

Step 4: Bake the Crust

  • Place the crust in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until it looks firm and lightly golden.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Finish Baking

  • Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Spread your favorite low-carb pizza sauce, sprinkle on cheese, and load up with your favorite toppings.
  • Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 6: Slice and Enjoy!

  • Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing—this helps the crust stay firm.
  • Serve hot and enjoy your homemade, high-protein, gluten-free pizza!
