  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Toppings

How to Make Our Zero-Carb Chicken “Pizza”

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the chicken crust: In a bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  3. Shape the crust: Spread the mixture onto the parchment-lined tray into a round or rectangular pizza shape, about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Bake the base: Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.
  5. Add toppings: Remove from the oven, spread tomato sauce evenly, sprinkle with mozzarella, and add cherry tomatoes and olives.
  6. Bake again: Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Finish & serve: Drizzle lightly with olive oil (optional) and garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving warm.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

  • Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in a skillet or oven for best texture — avoid microwaving to keep the crust crisp.
  • Freeze: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat straight from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes.
  • Serving Ideas:
    • Pair with a simple green salad for a Mediterranean touch.
    • Add a side of roasted vegetables for a hearty, balanced meal.
    • Great for lunchboxes or meal prep days.

Tips & FAQs

1. Can I use canned tuna or turkey instead of chicken?
Yes — ground turkey or canned tuna works great as a lean protein alternative.

2. How can I make this Slimming-friendly?
Use spray oil instead of olive oil, low-fat cheese, and lean ground chicken to keep it syn-free or low-syn.

3. Is this Weight Watchers approved?
Absolutely. Using 99% fat-free chicken and light mozzarella keeps this around 2–3 WW points per serving, depending on your plan.

4. Can I make this in an air fryer?
Yes! Air fry the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, add toppings, then air fry another 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts.

5. How can I make it more Mediterranean?
Add a drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, or a few artichoke hearts and roasted peppers for that authentic Mediterranean flair.
