Chicken Crust Pizza

How to make a crispy, high-protein chicken crust pizza that is naturally gluten-free, low-carb, and packed with bold, satisfying flavor.

Chicken crust pizza changed my pizza nights for good. I first made this high-protein, low-carb recipe during a week when I was trying to hit my macros without giving up the foods my family actually loves. The result was a golden, savory crust that my teenagers cleaned off the pan before I could grab a second slice. This one is a keeper!

What I love most about chicken crust pizza is that the crust is not just a base. It is part of the flavor. Seasoned with garlic, Italian herbs, and Parmesan, every bite delivers a rich, meaty chew that no cauliflower or almond flour crust can match. It is naturally gluten-free, keto-friendly, and packs serious protein into every slice. You are going to love this one!

I always use fresh ground chicken for this recipe rather than pre-packaged or pre-seasoned blends. The quality of your ground chicken makes a real difference in both texture and flavor. I recommend a mix of breast and thigh for a juicier, more flavorful crust.

I recommend reading through all steps before starting so the timing flows smoothly. Chicken crust pizza comes together quickly once the crust is baked, so having your toppings ready saves time.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and holds together.

Step 3: Transfer the mixture onto the parchment-lined pan. Press it into a round, even circle about ¼-inch thick. Even thickness is key here so the edges and center cook at the same rate.
