This zero carb chicken crust pizza is one of those magical recipes that make you question everything you thought you knew about “healthy eating.” It’s juicy, flavorful, and so satisfying that you won’t even miss the dough.

We’re going to walk you through how to make it from scratch — with tips, tricks, and delicious variations you can try at home. Whether you’re following a keto, low-carb, or high-protein lifestyle, this pizza checks all the boxes.

Let’s be real — most “healthy” pizza substitutes taste like cardboard.
But this one? It’s actually amazing.

The crust is made from ground chicken, which crisps up beautifully while staying tender inside. Plus, it’s a fantastic source of lean protein and completely carb-free — no flour, no almond meal, no cauliflower. Just simple, clean ingredients.

Here’s why we’re obsessed:

• ✅ Zero carbs, high in protein
• ✅ Gluten-free and keto-friendly
• ✅ Easy to make
• ✅ Tastes just like pizza should

And the best part? You can customize it endlessly. From classic pepperoni to loaded veggie toppings — the base works with anything.

Let’s keep it simple. You don’t need fancy ingredients to pull this off.

For the crust:

• 1 pound (450 g) ground chicken
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

(Optional: add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper for a flavor boost.)

For the toppings:

• 1/2 cup sugar-free pizza sauce or tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Your favorite toppings — pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, spinach, or bell peppers

That’s it. Just real, wholesome ingredients that deliver serious flavor.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper — this keeps the crust from sticking and makes cleanup so much easier.

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• The ground chicken
• Parmesan cheese
• Egg
• Garlic and onion powder
• Salt and pepper

Mix it thoroughly until you get a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

Pro tip: If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more grated Parmesan — it’ll help bind the crust and give it extra flavor.

Place the mixture on your prepared baking sheet.
Using your hands (or a spatula), press it into a thin, even circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Try not to make it too thick, or it won’t crisp up properly.

Smooth the edges with your fingers — the more even it looks, the more professional your pizza will feel.

Bake the crust for 20 minutes, or until it’s firm and lightly golden.
Then, remove it from the oven and gently blot away any excess moisture or oil with a paper towel.

You’ll notice the edges start to brown — that’s exactly what we want. It means the crust is developing that perfect crispy texture.

Now the fun part! Spread your pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Top it with shredded mozzarella and your favorite toppings.

If you’re keeping it classic, go for pepperoni and Italian herbs.
If you want something lighter, try fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes.

And if you’re in the mood to experiment — buffalo chicken, BBQ sauce, or even white garlic cream sauce all work beautifully with this crust.

Place the topped pizza back in the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust edges are golden brown.

When it comes out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
That short rest time helps the crust firm up and makes it easier to handle.

When you cut into it, the crust should be:

• Golden and slightly crispy on the edges
• Juicy but firm in the center
• Strong enough to hold your toppings

This isn’t one of those soggy, flimsy “healthy” pizzas. It’s hearty, full of flavor, and honestly — you’ll probably forget it’s made from chicken.

Want to make sure your crust comes out just right every time? Keep these tips in mind:

1. Use lean ground chicken.
   Too much fat can make the crust greasy. Aim for 93% lean or higher.
2. Don’t skip the Parmesan.
   It adds structure and helps the crust brown beautifully.
3. Bake before adding toppings.
   This step is key! Baking it once ensures the crust is solid and not soggy.
4. Let it cool before cutting.
   Just like a traditional pizza — patience pays off.
5. Experiment with flavors.
   Mix ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, or even shredded cheddar into the crust mixture for a twist.

This zero carb chicken crust pizza is like a blank canvas — you can turn it into anything you want. Here are a few ideas to spark inspiration:

• BBQ Chicken Pizza: Use sugar-free BBQ sauce instead of tomato sauce, top with red onions and cheddar.
• Buffalo Ranch Pizza: Mix buffalo sauce into the crust and drizzle ranch over the top after baking.
• Mediterranean Style: Add feta, olives, red onions, and spinach for a Greek-inspired version.
• Breakfast Pizza: Use scrambled eggs, cheese, and crumbled bacon for a morning-friendly twist.

There’s really no limit here. As long as you keep your toppings low-carb, you’re good to go.

If you somehow manage not to eat it all in one sitting (good luck with that!), it stores beautifully.

• In the fridge: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• In the freezer: Freeze slices for up to 2 months. Reheat directly in the oven at 375°F until hot and crispy again.

Avoid microwaving if possible — it’ll soften the crust.

This can vary depending on toppings, but for the basic chicken crust pizza:
