You won’t believe the main ingredient in this crazy pizza crust recipe…it’s CHICKEN!!
This recipe is based on the KetoConnect recipe which uses canned chicken (their recipe is inspired by the Real Good Food Chicken Pizza Crust). I have made this crust both with canned chicken and fresh, cooked chicken. I prefer the latter because it is less salty and moister.
The crust doesn’t taste like chicken, and once it cools a bit, you can pick up a slice just like regular pizza. It’s crazy! Who would have thought to use chicken as a pizza crust…
It also makes delicious cheesy garlic bread 🙂

- 3 Chicken thighs boneless, skinless -need to total 1.25 cups of minced chicken. Alternatively use 2 cans of chicken (about 10 oz total)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup Tomato-Basil pasta sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350.
Cook chicken thighs in frying pan or oven. Allow to cool. Put through food processor or chop as finely as possible. You should have about 1.25 cups of minced chicken. Alternatively, use 2 cans of chicken (about 10oz total).
Place in a mixing bowl.
Add olive oil, cheese and egg to the bowl with chicken and mix.
Put mixture onto baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment and spread thin. Placing parchment paper on top and using a rolling pin makes this easier.
Optional: Pinch the edges of the crust to form a ridge for the crust.
Bake the crust for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove crust from oven. Add desired toppings and bake for another 6-10 minutes. Toppings will dictate the final cook time.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
The nutrition values here are for the crust with tomato sauce and cheese only. Additional toppings will change the final nutrition values. Net Carbs per serving (1/2 the pizza): less than 5 grams
