Pizza night has always been a huge hit in our house since I was a kid. I’ve carried this over to my kids and they are huge pizza fans too. Instead of ordering expensive (and unhealthy!) takeout or frozen grocery store pizza, I order homemade pizza. I’ve tried several different versions over the years, and the newest is this chicken crust pizza. It’s a low-carb pizza crust that brings a new twist to my taste buds. Meatza Recipe!

Chicken Crust Pizza

The kids and I love pizza crust made with ground beef, but this delicious version uses ground chicken. I also use four times as much Parmesan cheese in the crust. This combination helps satisfy traditional pizza cravings with a delicious, crunchy crust.

It’s a great option if you’re on a keto diet because it’s low carb and naturally gluten-free. Since it’s full of healthy fats and nutrients, it’s much more filling than versions made with refined flour.

If you want a slightly thicker, chewier crust, flatten the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick. For a crispier crust, aim for a crust that’s about 1/4 inch thick. Thankfully, pizza “dough” is very soft and easy to work with!

Chicken Pizza Ingredients

The main ingredient here is chicken (obviously!), but you can also use ground turkey if you prefer. And if you have a healthy source of canned chicken that works too, plus it’s quicker to make. Some chicken crust pizza recipes recommend using shredded chicken which gives a different texture.

And pizza isn’t pizza without your favorite toppings! We love using tomato sauce with mozzarella cheese and lots of fresh veggies. Or you can opt for Alfredo sauce for a creamy version. Here are some more topping ideas:

Sprinkle Italian seasoning
Drizzle with good quality olive oil
Pepperoni
Bell peppers
Red onion
With top fresh basil After cooking
Black olives
Roasted red pepper
chopped sun-dried tomatoes
