Description
A clever, low-carb twist on pizza, using ground chicken mixed with cheese and egg for a sturdy crust.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken (93% lean)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1–2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Toppings of your choice (pizza sauce, garlic, extra mozzarella, pepperoni, veggies, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix ground chicken, mozzarella, egg, and seasonings until combined.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared sheet and spread into a circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until the crust is golden and cooked through.
- Remove from oven, drain excess juices, and add sauce and toppings.
- Return to oven for 5–8 minutes, or until toppings are heated and cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 3–5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For nuttier flavor, add grated Parmesan. Confirm shredded cheese is gluten-free if needed. For a firmer crust, add almond flour or crushed pork rinds.
