In the end, I found I liked it best baked in an 8 inch cast iron skillet. But, many people who make this recipe on social media (tiktok and instagram) are using a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Maybe my chicken was less fatty than others, but mine stuck to the paper too much for me. I know I have good parchment paper too, because I buy it at the restaurant supply store. But either way, even when the chicken crust stuck to the paper or the pan, it was still soooo delicious!
If you do want to use a cookie sheet still, the BEST way on a cookie sheet with a silicone mat!!! No sticking to the bottom at all!!
How to make this pizza
To make this Low carb chicken crust pizza, I mix 1 egg for every half pound of ground chicken. You can season it from here however you like.
Then, of course the topping is what really makes this pizza next level. Because I wanted it super cheesy, but still somewhat low in calories, I did a mix of regular mozzarella with fat free mozzarella! But you can do any combination you please.
After you spread your ground chicken out, to a crust like thickness, bake for 15 minutes in the oven.
Store leftovers in the fridge. SUPER yummy the next day too!!!
