Boost your protein intake with this ground chicken pizza crust (keto-friendly), made from a mixture of ground chicken, Italian, and Parmesan cheeses.

You'll get that same crispy, thin-crust style you love without the extra carbs—each slice boasts almost 30 grams of protein for a more satisfying slice of pizza. We like it simple with just pizza sauce and mozzarella, but you can add any of your favorite pizza toppings. The Italian herbs and spices in the crust give it that classic pizza flavor.

Even if you go simple with sauce and cheese, this is still a pizza for meat lovers.

Why High-Protein Pizza Crust?

Whether you're following the Keto diet, going gluten free, or looking to boost your protein intake, this ground chicken pizza crust offers a great base for building your pizza. Similar to cauliflower, ground chicken is easy to flatten and bake (almost like a meaty cheese crisp). The Italian seasonings impart a traditional pizza flavor.

Ground Chicken Pizza Crust Ingredients

Finely ground chicken (also referred to as "minced chicken") is important in this pizza crust recipe because it will hold together better and appear less chunky. This way, your pizza crust won't have holes or break apart as it bakes. If your chicken isn't as finely ground, you can put it in the food processor to grind it further—just make sure you clean every part of the food processor after doing so!

Speaking of crumbly texture, there's a reason our Test Kitchen recommends using shredded Parmesan over grated Parmesan cheese. Grated Parmesan is so finely ground that it won't have the same melting or adhering ability to hold the crust together. For both the chicken and the cheese in this recipe, it's important to pick the right consistency for the best results.
