Description

A cheesy, comforting chicken crust pizza recipe inspired by Nonna Maria kitchen. Juicy, low-carb, and packed with nostalgic Italian flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional toppings: mushrooms, olives, red onions, fresh basil


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

3. Press the mixture into a thin, even circle on the prepared sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

4. Remove from oven, add sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.

5. Return to oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Be sure to use parchment paper to prevent sticking and help the crust crisp.

Bake the crust alone first — this step is essential for structure.

This recipe is naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly.

Leftovers reheat best in a skillet over low heat for a crispy bottom.
