Chicken Crust Pizza (Low Carb + High Protein)

Ingredients

• 450 g ground chicken
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 20 pepperoni slices

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the recommended-size baking sheet with parchment paper; the recipe author notes that the crust is spread across the full length and width of the sheet.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

3. 3

   Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Press it into a thin shape about ¼ inch thick; the source describes it as a rectangle or circle, and notes spreading it over the full sheet.

4. 4

   Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the crust is golden and firm. At about the 20-minute mark, check for liquid pooled around the edges; tilt the pan carefully and drain it. The source notes that this moisture is normal as the chicken cooks.

5. 5

   Raise the oven temperature to 450°F. Spread the pizza sauce over the fully baked crust.

6. 6

   Add the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the sauce.

7. 7

   Bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. 8

   Rest the pizza for 3–5 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The Instagram post describes a sriracha-and-honey topping, but says to add it to the linked chicken-crust recipe; the linked structured recipe does not specify quantities or application steps for either, so they are not included in this recipe extraction.
