Chicken Crust Pizza


In a bit of a change from my normal blogs, this one is a complete omage to the lovely Jamie of yourlighterside.com who created this fantastic gluten free low carb pizza. I've tried a few pizza crusts while on keto and none of them have been good enough to pass onto you lot, let alone for me to add to my regular meal list.

Another reason for posting about pizza is that I've just come back from a gorgeous trip to Milan-pizza, pasta, gnocchi, gelato. If an Italian makes it, I ate it. Naturally now I'm back I need to come up with decent keto versions of them all.

You will need:

A 12 inch pizza pan, baking powder, either a food processor or hand blender unless you want to hand shred everything!

Ingredients for the crust (makes 8 slices)

200g Chicken Breast
200g Mozzarella
1tsp onion salt
1tsp garlic granules
1tsp dried basil

Ingredients for the Topping

40g Sainsburys Pizza topping sauce
100g Grated mature cheddar
12 slices of pepperoni

(in the pizza above I also used some Mattesons pork sausage, but didn't actually like it in the topping so haven't included it)


  1. Preheat the oven to 220 C.
  2. Line your pizza tray with baking parchment (I tried without it, good luck getting the pizza out if you choose to avoid this step).
  3. Separately shred the chicken, then the mozzarella with your food processor or blender.
  4. Process the chicken and mozzarella together until the mixture has a thick crumb like texture.
  5. Press mixture into the pizza pan and smooth the top.
  6. Shake the basil, onion and garlic powder over the top of crust.
  7. Bake the pizza crust for 12 minutes.
  8. All the pizza crust to cool before adding the topping.
  9. Top with the pizza sauce, the grated cheddar and then pepperoni.
  10. Bake the pizza for 6 minutes until the toppings have melted.
  11. Slice and serve.
