A sliced low-carb pizza with a golden ground chicken crust topped with melted cheese, pepperoni, and fresh basil on a wooden board.

ground chicken pizza crust

This ground chicken pizza crust is a game-changing alternative to traditional dough. Made with lean ground chicken, Parmesan, and almond flour, it bakes up surprisingly sturdy and deliciously crisp. It’s naturally grain-free and packed with protein, providing a satisfying canvas for all your favorite pizza toppings without the carb-heavy guilt.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 1 (12-inch) pizza (4 servings)

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb ground chicken breast (or lean ground turkey)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Parchment paper

For Topping:

 

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers)

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix all crust ingredients until a sticky “dough” forms.
  3. Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Press into a thin, even circle (~¼-inch thick).
  4. Remove top parchment. Slide crust (on bottom parchment) onto a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven. Brush crust with olive oil.
  6. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  7. Return to oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

 

  • Parchment paper is essential to prevent sticking. Do not use wax paper.
  • For the crispiest crust, use lean ground chicken breast.
  • The crust must be par-baked before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
  • Leftovers reheat best in a toaster oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
