How to Make Low Carb Chicken Pizza Crust (Keto)

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. If you want to make the chicken crust a little crisper, you can cook it for about 3-5 more minutes. But make sure to not cook it too long or you’ll have a dry chicken jerky crust.
