A quick and easy low-carb pizza made with a crispy chicken crust, topped with mozzarella and pepperoni. Perfect for keto diets and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (full-fat)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20–25 slices of pepperoni
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves or red pepper flakes for garnish
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons almond flour (for binding if chicken is moist)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, beaten egg, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated. Add almond flour if mixture is too loose.
  3. Transfer the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Press and shape into a roughly 10-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick, keeping even thickness.
  4. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden brown and crust feels firm.
  5. Remove crust from oven. Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border.
  6. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then layer pepperoni slices on top.
  7. Return pizza to oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  8. Let pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from chicken before mixing to prevent soggy crust. Bake crust alone first to ensure crispiness. Place some pepperoni slices under cheese to prevent curling. Almond flour can be added for extra binding if needed. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
