The Low Carb Kitchen: Chicken Crust Pizza

A great low carb and gluten free option. It tasted really good. Great for a special treat or when you are craving a pizza.

The Chicken Crust

The ingredients:

2 cans of chicken drained

1 egg

1/2 C parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

The recipe:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Cover a pizza pan or baking pan with greased parchment.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.

Place it all on the prepared pan.

Spread out to the desired shape and about 1/4 in. to 1/2 in. thickness.

Bake for 30 minutes

Remove from oven and add toppings.

Bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

Allow to cool 1-2 minutes.

Notes:

I would pulse chicken in food processor to get a fine texture.

You can add additional seasoning to the Crust. My favorite is pizza seasoning. 

I love to rub garlic over the crust. Just cut a clove in half and rub cut side over the crust.

Below is a picture of crusts made with the food processor. It is a much better looking crust.
