Description
This low-carb, high-protein pizza crust made from canned chicken is a great alternative to traditional dough. It’s keto-friendly, gluten-free, and crispy on the edges while holding up well to your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12.5 oz) can of chicken, drained and shredded
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Chicken – Drain the canned chicken thoroughly and spread it on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix Ingredients – In a bowl, combine the dried chicken, egg, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well to form a dough.
- Form the Crust – Place the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even circle or rectangle (about ¼-inch thick).
- Bake the Crust – Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is firm and golden brown.
- Add Toppings – Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, veggies, meats), and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve – Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy!
