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.

Can I use raw chicken instead?
Yes, if you don't have already cooked chicken or canned chicken, you can use raw but cooking time will change.
Follow the recipe as directed but when using a raw chicken breast, chop it up before adding it to the food processor. Spread it into a 9 inch circle onto a parchment lined baking sheet pan.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the entire parchment paper with pizza over onto another lined baking sheet pan. Peel the parchment paper very carefully and place back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Add your favorite toppings and melt cheese for about 5 minutes.
