Ingredients for Chicken Pizza Crust

This simple low-carb pizza crust comes together with just a handful of wholesome ingredients. Each one plays a key role in creating a crispy, flavorful base that holds up beautifully under your favorite toppings.

What You’ll Need:

Ground chicken 1 lb – The star of the recipe, providing a high-protein, gluten-free base with a deliciously savory taste.
Shredded mozzarella cheese ½ cup – Helps bind the crust while adding a cheesy, slightly crispy texture.
Grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup – Enhances flavor and helps create a firmer, golden-brown crust.
Egg 1 large – Acts as a natural binder to hold everything together.
Garlic powder ½ teaspoon – Adds a subtle, savory depth to the crust.
Italian seasoning ½ teaspoon – Brings classic pizza flavors with a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme.
Salt and black pepper to taste – Enhances the flavors and balances the seasonings.
Parchment paper & baking sheet – Essential for ensuring a crispy crust that won’t stick to the pan.

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!
