Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Crust
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast About 1 pound raw chicken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing Use a low-carb version if desired
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup croutons Optional, omit for strict keto

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Press the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick, forming a pizza crust. Make sure the edges are slightly raised.
  4. Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is firm enough to handle.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  6. Spread the Caesar dressing evenly over the slightly cooled crust.
  7. Top the pizza with the chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and croutons, if using.
  8. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

If you want a crispier crust, you can bake it for 5 minutes before adding the toppings, then run it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after adding toppings, watching carefully to prevent burning.
