Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Crust
- 1 1/4 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 1/2 lb or 227 g), packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper (or to taste)
For the Toppings
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, or Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, blue cheese, feta, or Parmesan)
Optional Toppings
- Sliced mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, veggies, pineapple
- Pepperoni, bacon bits, sausage, prosciutto, salami, or your favorite meats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Transfer mixture onto the prepared pan and press into an even round or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and set.
- Add toppings: Spread sauce over the crust, sprinkle with cheese, and add any optional toppings you like.
- Bake again for 7–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Use well-drained shredded chicken so the crust holds together better.
- For extra crispiness, flip the crust after the first bake before adding toppings.
- Great for meal prep—make the crusts ahead of time and freeze for quick pizzas later.
