Ingredients
- 500g chicken mince
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- Your preferred pizza toppings
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 210°C (410°F). A hot oven ensures that the chicken crust cooks evenly and becomes perfectly crispy.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and egg. Mix everything together until the ingredients are completely combined. This mixture will form the base of your pizza, so make sure it's well-mixed.
Step 3: Form the Pizza Bases
Divide the chicken mixture into two equal portions. Using two sheets of non-stick paper, spread each portion into a thin, even layer to form two pizza bases. The non-stick paper helps prevent sticking and makes it easy to transfer the bases to the baking tray.
Step 4: Bake the Chicken Crusts
Place the chicken pizza bases, along with the baking paper, onto a baking tray. Remove the top layer of paper, and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. You'll know they're ready when they're cooked through and slightly golden.
Step 5: Add Your Favorite Toppings
Once the bases are cooked, it's time to get creative! Top them with your favourite pizza toppings. Whether you're a fan of classic pepperoni and cheese or prefer a veggie-loaded option, the choice is yours.
Step 6: Final Bake
Return the topped pizzas to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. This will melt the cheese and heat up the toppings, creating a deliciously gooey and flavourful pizza.
Enjoy Your Pizza!
Remove your pizzas from the oven, let them cool slightly, and enjoy! This chicken crust pizza is perfect for those following a low-carb or keto diet, or anyone looking for a protein-packed meal. It's a versatile recipe that can be tailored to suit your taste preferences.
