Chicken Pizza Crust (Carnivore/Paleo)


  • Author: Jill Baker

Description

This pizza crust is a favorite in the Baker family household. It counts as carnivore and supports a paleo or keto diet. This takes homemade pizza to a whole new level!


Ingredients

Units Scale

1.5 lb. Ground Chicken or Turkey

2 tsp. Sea Salt

1 tsp. Oregano

1 tsp. Thyme

1 tsp. Paprika

23 Cloves Fresh Garlic, diced

1 Dash Cayenne Pepper (optional)

12 Egg(s)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400º F
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Mix together thoroughly.
  3. Line a pizza sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone liner).  Place the chicken mixture in the center of the pan.  Put a second sheet of parchment paper over to top.  Roll out to 1/8″ -1/4″ thick.  A thinner crust will cook quicker and be crispier.
  4. Remove top parchment paper.  Bake in 400º F oven for 15-25 minutes depending on the thickness.
  5. When the crust is nicely browned, remove from oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  6. Top the crust with your favorite sauce and toppings and cheese.
  7. Bake again for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. You can be creative with your seasonings!  Try using basil and fennel, try using fresh rather than dried herbs, etc.
  2. You can add cheese to the crust for a yummy flavor twist: try 1/2 cup Mozzarella and 1/4 c. Parmesan.
  3. Beware of overloading the pizza with toppings.  Too  thick a topping layer can leave the crust a little soggy.
  4. Ground beef will work ok with this recipe, but not as well as chicken or turkey. Ground pork is too fatty and doesn’t work well.
