WHAT IS CHICKEN CRUST PIZZA?

Chicken crust pizza is the best of both worlds: it tastes like a traditional pie and doesn’t have any carbohydrates. It’s also a great option for keto dieters who want to enjoy pizza without feeling guilty! With this recipe, you can make chicken crust pizza with only three ingredients in less than 30 minutes.

The Chicken Pizza Crust

This dish uses a low-carb flour that is ideal for keto dieters but great for anyone who wants to eat healthier. The crust is made with almond flour which gives it a nutty taste. It’s an excellent alternative to using wheat flour and is also gluten-free. The rest of your ingredients are simple: pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and shredded chicken breast. You’ll love how easy it is to make! Best of all? Your family will never know that you’re making a healthy choice!

If you’re making a pie for four people and only use half of a chicken breast for each chicken breast pizza crust (which is how most recipes suggest), you’re shorting yourself. You can get around 2-3 large pies out of one small chicken breast! That’s just not fair.

For great deals on chicken breasts, visit your nearest Costco. Also, think about buying a bunch of chicken breasts and keeping them in your freezer until you need them. It’s an easy way to make sure that you always have some on hand when it comes time to whip up your can chicken pizza crust!
