This Chicken Pizza Crust Is Totally Unexpected

I love anything pizza, so I’m always looking for new ways to make it. Here’s one of my faves for you that’s a bit more unique: Chicken crust pizza ! It’s very different from your typical flour crust, but I’ve got so many reasons you need to try it:

Cheesy chicken flavor – Chicken pizza crust is just what it sounds like — a pizza with a crust made out of chicken. You’ll love it if you like chicken and cheese. Just please don’t expect it to taste like a traditional pizza! (If you’re looking for more of a traditional low carb crust, my keto pizza is your best bet.)
Sturdy crust with crispy edges – I love that I can actually pick up the slices with my hands. And those edges are so good!
Low carb, high-protein, and gluten-free – Each serving has 38 grams of protein and just 5 grams net carbs ! And the crust itself is almost zero carb.
Quick and easy – You need just 4 simple ingredients (no flours or specialty anything!) and half an hour. I often prep the crust ahead, too.
Totally customizeable – You can make my chicken crust pizza with shredded, canned, or ground chicken! And while I top it with Alfredo sauce , spinach, and red onions most often (these flavors go so well with chicken), I’ve got lots of other sauce and topping ideas for you below.

This chicken crust pizza recipe is one of my easiest keto dinners , but I think the flavor and texture makes it delicious and satisfying for everyone , even if you’re not low carb. My kids give it a thumbs up, and these days I love the high protein part!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my chicken pizza crust recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

Chicken Options:

Shredded chicken – I use this for my chicken pizza crust most often, because I think it tastes the best, so that’s what you’ll find on the recipe card! You can either make your own Instant Pot chicken breast and shred it (what I usually do), or simply buy rotisserie chicken.
Ground chicken – Use 1 pound (16 ounces) of ground chicken. You can technically do this with any other ground meat, too. The cook time will be closer to the 20 minute mark, versus the 15-20 minute range for shredded.
Canned chicken – Use 3/4 pound (12 ounces) of pre-cooked canned chicken, which is the same amount as you’d use for fresh shredded chicken. Make sure to drain and dry well before mixing with the other ingredients.

Everything Else:

Parmesan Cheese – I’ve made this chicken crust pizza with pre-grated parm as well as grated fresh, and don’t notice much difference. Other cheeses, such as mozzarella, can also work, but I find that parmesan makes the sturdiest crust due to its low moisture.
Garlic – I use fresh minced garlic, but 1 teaspoon of jarred minced garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder will work. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Eggs – Use room temperature eggs for best results. Egg substitutes work okay, but the crust will be more fragile.
Sea Salt – Just a little, since the cheese is already salty.

These ingredients are just for the crust itself. You can add any toppings you want — again, see my topping ideas below!

How To Make Chicken Crust Pizza

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

Mix the crust. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, garlic, and salt. Whisk the eggs lightly, then mix well into the chicken mixture.
Spread it out. Place the chicken pizza crust “dough” onto a pizza peel (my recommendation, shown below) or pizza pan lined with the parchment paper. Form into a flat, thin circle.

Bake and rest. If using a pizza peel and stone, slide the parchment paper onto the pizza stone . (If using a regular pan, you can just place it in the oven.) Bake until firm and golden on the edges. Let the crust sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before topping, which helps to “seal” it so it doesn’t get soggy.
Add pizza toppings and bake again. If you want the cheese more browned, place under a broiler for a couple of minutes. I usually do! I also like a sprinkle of fresh herbs or crushed red pepper sometimes.

Since I first published this low carb chicken crust pizza recipe in 2018, it has been so popular that I included it in my Easy Keto Carboholics’ Cookbook . It’s packed with 100 easy recipes for foods you might miss after cutting carbs — breads, pizza, pasta, potatoes, dessert, and more.

My Recipe Tips

Check the “dough” for the right consistency. The mixture should be fairly dense and dry, but able to be pressed together. If it’s too dry, you can add another egg. If it’s too wet, add more Parmesan. Check the video below to get a better idea of how it should look.
Spread the crust thinly. Chicken crust pizza tastes and cooks best when it’s fairly thin. Spread it to about 1/4 inch thickness to make sure it cooks through.
A pizza stone will get you the best texture. It makes the crust more study and crispy. I recommend this with all my pizza recipes, but especially ones made with veggies (like cauliflower pizza and zucchini pizza ) and now this chicken one. You’ll also need a pizza peel to get the pizza on and off of the stone. This is because you need to preheat the oven with the stone already inside, otherwise it can crack. A regular round pan does work, but the crust texture is much better with the stone.
The parchment paper is absolutely required. Chicken pizza crust sticks very easily, so don’t skip it, or your crust will stick and fall apart.
Resting before adding toppings is crucial. Waiting 10 minutes will let the cheese solidify and form a seal, which means the crust will stay sturdy. If you pile on the sauce and toppings immediately, the crust tends to absorb any liquids and get soggy.

Maya’s Recipe Notes

Serving size: 2 slices (assuming pizza is cut into 8 slices), or 1/4 of the entire pizza

Pizza size: This chicken crust pizza recipe makes a 10-inch pizza.
Tips: Check out my recipe tips above to help you get a sturdy chicken pizza crust with the best texture.
Topping options: See my other topping ideas if you don’t want the combination I have on the recipe card.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I place parchment paper between slices so that they don’t stick together.
Meal prep: You can make shredded chicken ahead of time, but I actually like to pre-bake the entire chicken pizza crust in advance. Just add your toppings and bake again when ready to eat.
Reheat: Place the chicken pizza directly onto your pizza stone or a baking sheet (no parchment paper needed for reheating). Bake for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. You can also microwave it, but the crust gets very soft.
Freeze: Pre-bake the crust and freeze on a baking sheet. Once solid, wrap in several layers of plastic wrap and keep frozen for up to 3-6 months. To bake the frozen pizza, don’t thaw the crust first. Simply unwrap, add sauce and toppings, and place into the oven until hot.
Note on nutrition info: The numbers here include the toppings I used. If you want to see the macros with some other topping combination, you can customize this recipe in my Wholesome Yum App and it will update the nutrition info for you.

Topping Ideas

While the white pizza I have pictured here is my favorite, I’ve used this crust with many topping combinations! Here are some of my other favorites:

Meat Lover’s – My husband’s fave! Pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, ground beef, or crumbled oven baked bacon . Since the pizza only bakes with toppings for a short time, make sure your meats are pre-cooked before adding them.
Hawaiian – Top with keto pizza sauce or sugar-free marinara sauce , Canadian bacon, pineapple, and mozzarella. Note that pineapple is generally not low carb, but personally I’m fine with it.
BBQ – Layer on my sugar-free BBQ sauce , cheddar cheese, diced red onions, and either cilantro or green onions after baking.
Veggie Lover’s – Since chicken crust pizza already has a meaty crust, I love balancing it with low carb vegetables on top! My go-to is red sauce, shredded mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Black olives are good, too.
Margherita – Top a base of tomato sauce with slices of fresh mozzarella and juicy tomatoes. Finish with fresh basil.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Pick A Protein	Pick A Veggie	Add Fat
Beef Chicken Pork Eggs Lamb Turkey Fish Shellfish Protein powder Venison	Cauliflower Broccoli Zucchini Leafy Greens Cucumbers Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Asparagus Radishes Bell Peppers Jicama Celery	Butter Avocado Oil Cheese Bacon Avocado Lard Ghee Mayo Nuts MCT Oil

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Sodium	Magnesium	Potassium
Bone broth Boullion cubes Bacon Salted nuts Pickles	Seaweed Seeds Nuts Avocado Leafy greens	Potassium chloride Avocado Bone broth Spinach Broccoli Mushrooms Beef Pork

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.

This Chicken Pizza Crust Is Totally Unexpected

Cheesy chicken flavor – Chicken pizza crust is just what it sounds like — a pizza with a crust made out of chicken. You’ll love it if you like chicken and cheese. Just please don’t expect it to taste like a traditional pizza! (If you’re looking for more of a traditional low carb crust, my keto pizza is your best bet.)
Sturdy crust with crispy edges – I love that I can actually pick up the slices with my hands. And those edges are so good!
Low carb, high-protein, and gluten-free – Each serving has 38 grams of protein and just 5 grams net carbs ! And the crust itself is almost zero carb.
Quick and easy – You need just 4 simple ingredients (no flours or specialty anything!) and half an hour. I often prep the crust ahead, too.
Totally customizeable – You can make my chicken crust pizza with shredded, canned, or ground chicken! And while I top it with Alfredo sauce , spinach, and red onions most often (these flavors go so well with chicken), I’ve got lots of other sauce and topping ideas for you below.
