Description

A healthy twist on pizza using ground chicken for a low-carb, gluten-free crust that’s loaded with protein.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toppings of choice (e.g., marinara sauce, extra cheese, vegetables, pepperoni)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a pizza crust shape.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the oven, add your desired toppings, and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Slice and serve hot!

Notes

Press the chicken mixture evenly for a consistent crust and experiment with seasonings to suit your taste. A pizza stone can be used for an extra crispy crust.
