How to Make Low Carb Chicken Pizza Crust (Keto)
- Use shredded pre-cooked chicken. Roast chicken, cooked chicken breast or canned chicken breast works well. They’re already cooked, so the crust will have a better bite and chew. Some canned chicken is very salty, so don’t add additional salt when making the crust.
- It’s important to make sure the chicken is finely shredded. This will create more of a tight weave for the crust and it’ll hold together better.

Makes one 10-inch/25-cm pizza. Nutrition based on crust, pizza sauce, & cheese.
- 1 1/4 cups packed cooked shredded chicken (about 1/2 lb.-227g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

- Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment paper evenly where the chicken will lay.
- In bowl whisk the eggs. Add the shredded chicken, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Layer the chicken mixture on the oiled parchment paper into a round or square shape. Pat and press the chicken together making sure there’s no air between the chicken. Flatten and shape the crust, about 1/4-inch (6mm) thin.
- Bake the chicken crust for about 15-20 minutes or until it start to crisp, golden and firm. Then allow the crust to cool for about 5-10 minutes so it can become a little more firm.
