A quick and easy low-carb pizza made with a crispy chicken crust topped with fresh veggies, perfect for keto and gluten-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground chicken (organic, lean preferred)
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded)
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) low-carb pizza sauce or sugar-free tomato sauce
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and press into an even 10-inch diameter circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden and crust feels firm.
  5. Remove crust from oven and spread 1/2 cup low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella on top, then arrange cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper slices, olives, and other desired veggies.
  7. Return pizza to oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and veggies are slightly roasted.
  8. Remove from oven, scatter fresh basil leaves on top, and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Press the crust thin for crispiness and pre-bake it to avoid sogginess. Use room temperature egg for better binding. Rest pizza 5 minutes before slicing. Broil 1-2 minutes if crust is too soft after baking. Avoid overloading toppings to keep crust crisp.
