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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Transfer mixture onto the prepared pan and press into an even round or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and set.
  5. Add toppings: Spread sauce over the crust, sprinkle with cheese, and add any optional toppings you like.
  6. Bake again for 7–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. 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.
