I\u2019ve since implemented it with my own kids and they\u2019re big pizza fans as well. Instead of ordering expensive (and unhealthy!) takeout or a frozen grocery store pizza though, I opt for homemade. I\u2019ve tried several different versions over the years, and the latest is this chicken crust pizza. It\u2019s a low-carb pizza crust that\u2019s a twist on my <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/gluten-free-pizza\/\">meatza recipe!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chicken-crust-pizza\">Chicken Crust Pizza<\/h2>\n<p>The kids and I love pizza crust made with ground beef, but this yummy version uses ground chicken instead. I also use four times the amount of parmesan cheese in the crust. The combination helps satisfy cravings for traditional pizza with a delicious, crispy crust.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a great option if you\u2019re on the keto diet since it\u2019s low-carb and naturally gluten-free. Because it\u2019s so full of healthy fats and nutrient-dense, it\u2019s a lot more filling than versions with refined flour.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a slightly thicker, chewier crust, then flatten the chicken to about 1\/2 inch thick. For a crispy crust aim for about 1\/4 inch thick instead. Thankfully the pizza \u201cdough\u201d is very forgiving and easy to work with!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chicken-pizza-ingredients\">Chicken Pizza Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>The main ingredient here is chicken (obviously!), but you could substitute ground turkey if preferred. And if you have a healthy source of canned chicken that works too, plus it can be faster. Some chicken crust pizza recipes call for shredded chicken which adds a different texture.<\/p>\n<p>And pizza isn\u2019t pizza without your favorite toppings! We like using a tomato sauce with mozzarella cheese and plenty of fresh veggies. Or you could opt for alfredo sauce for a creamier version.
