Low Carb Chicken Pizza Crust Recipe
This low carb keto pizza combines cooked chicken plus cottage cheese to make it high protein but also more stable to hold like a pizza should be!
You can use canned chicken or a cooked Rotisserie chicken to make it one of the easiest pizza's you will ever make when pizza cravings hit! Literally takes just a few minutes to prep and just about 15-20 minutes to make!
No coconut flour or almond flour or rolling pin needed to make this easy pizza recipe which is our new favorite recipe of all!
I've seen the cottage cheese bowl recipes for pizza which is also quick and easy, but sometimes you just want to hold a real good pizza in your hand, am I right?!!
Very simple ingredients are needed for this cottage cheese, egg, cooked chicken, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, favorite herbs, and choice of sauce.
Carbs in traditional Personal Sized Pizza
Regular pizza is a no go for a keto diet or low-carb diet as it has too many carbs and will spike your blood sugar and cause cravings.
Nutrition information from the app Cronometer says one slice of a personal pizza with cheese and pepperoni has 16 grams of carbs so for two slices you're looking at 32 grams of carbs!
In those two slices you'll have just 14 grams of protein leaving you hunger for more.
The next time you are craving pizza, try our crispy crust instead!
Our keto cottage cheese chicken crust pizza has 5 grams for total carb count per serving which is half the pizza.
It's a great option for feeling satisfied and satiated on a low carb diet or keto diet, with 40 grams protein!
The rest of the nutritional information is at the bottom of this blog post on the recipe card.
Keto Chicken Pizza Crust Recipe
When you're on a keto diet, sure you can find some low carb keto frozen pizzas at grocery stores, but they aren't all that good in my opinion.
Fathead pizza is one of our favorites but it takes a lot more time to make.
This chicken mixture is much easier to come together than fathead dough pizza and it's higher in protein too!
Low Carb Favorite Pizza Toppings
Pizza sauce- Rao's brand has Alfredo sauce, marinara sauce and tomato sauce that are both delicious! If you want to make it even easier, just drizzle extra virgin olive oil, and fresh minced garlic over the crust.
Red onions- a few slices of fresh red onion can help to cut through the fat and give you a nice bite!
Black olives- delicious on any keto pizza!
Fresh Bell Peppers would also give a nice texture to the pizza.
Pepperoni- A great way to get in a little more protein on your pizza, use some regular pepperoni or even turkey pepperoni!
Fresh Basil and Parsley- just chop over the top once the pizza comes out of the oven.
Bacon- I mean do I need to say any more? Everything is better with bacon!
Can I bake this on a pizza stone?
Absolutely you can bake this on a pizza stone. Cooking time may be less and you may not need to flip the pizza over either!
Can I use canned chicken?
You can use canned chicken or fresh chicken and cook it yourself then shred. If you have any leftover chicken you can use that too!
Can I change the cheese used?
If you prefer cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella cheese, feel free to swap it in this perfect recipe for an easy keto pizza crust.
