Chicken Crust Pizza Recipe – Crispy, Cheesy & Low-Carb Dinner

Q: Do you cook chicken before putting it on pizza?

For chicken crust pizza, the ground chicken cooks as the crust bakes . You don’t need to cook it separately. Just mix the raw ground chicken with the other crust ingredients, press it out, and bake it. The initial bake fully cooks the crust before you add toppings for the second round in the oven.

Question 1

What is chicken crust pizza?

Accepted Answer

Chicken crust pizza is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional dough-based pizza. Instead of flour, the base is made from ground chicken mixed with egg, parmesan, and seasonings. It bakes into a golden, savory crust that’s sturdy enough to hold your favorite toppings—perfect for keto diets or anyone cutting back on carbs. It’s very similar in approach to my protein-packed cottage cheese pizza bowl but with more crunch.

Question 2

What are the ingredients for chicken pizza?

Accepted Answer

The crust uses 450g ground chicken, 2 eggs, ½ cup parmesan cheese, and a mix of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toppings are up to you, but mozzarella, pepperoni, and a classic pizza sauce work beautifully. For something different, try roasted veggies or shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce, just like I do in my vegetable egg roll recipe.

Question 3

Why is my chicken pizza crust soggy?

Accepted Answer

Sogginess usually comes from too much moisture in the chicken or underbaking. Make sure to pre-bake the crust for 25 minutes at 400°F before adding toppings. Let it rest after baking to firm up. Also, don’t overload it with sauce or watery toppings—less is more here.
