Expert Tips For Recipe Success

Shape the crust round, square, or freeform—we prefer squares since they’re easier for kids.
Use good-quality ground chicken (I used Bell Evans) or grind boneless chicken breasts in a food processor. If the chicken is wetter then blot it with a clean paper towel before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
Line the pan, as the crust releases moisture while baking.
After baking, blot excess moisture with paper towels before adding toppings.
Bake the crust first, let it cool a few minutes, then add toppings, blotting again if needed.

FAQs

Can you use ground turkey in place of the ground chicken in this pizza crust?

Ground turkey can be used for this low-carb pizza crust, but it holds more water, making the crust wetter and less sturdy than ground chicken.

Can I use canned chicken breast in this chicken crust recipe?

Yes you absolutely can! It will take a bit less time to bake up than ground chicken and may be slightly wetter so just pay close attention to it as it cooks and blot excess moisture.

How do I avoid a soggy pizza crust?

I like to blot the ground chicken before combining it with the other ingredients. Also baking the crust first, and allowing it to rest for a few minutes (at least 5 minutes), before adding the toppings works great. You also want to make sure not to use too much pizza sauce, a thin layer of sauce is fine and goes a long way!

How many carbs are in this keto chicken pizza crust?

This low carb chicken pizza crust has less than 1 gram of carbs and 15 grams of protein per serving, just in the pizza crust, not including the toppings.
