Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (12.5 oz or 354g) cooked, shredded chicken, thoroughly drained
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (50g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Thoroughly drain the canned chicken to remove as much moisture as possible. Spread the drained chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. This helps to dry out the chicken further, ensuring a better crust texture.
Mix the Crust Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine the dried chicken, egg, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
Form the Crust:
- Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Using your hands or a spatula, press it into a flat, even circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick, shaping it like a traditional pizza crust.
Bake the Crust:
- Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until it becomes firm and starts to turn golden brown.
Add Toppings:
- Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Be mindful not to overload the pizza to maintain the crust’s integrity.
Bake the Pizza:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb, high-protein pizza!
