How To Make Chicken Pizza

Using chicken as a base for a gooey cheesy pizza might seem a bit funny – but it works perfectly and is insanely easy!

Use these tips to make a Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Pizza that your whole family will love:

Pound chicken thin.

The thinner your chicken, the more it will crisp up and take on a nice light but sturdy texture that is solid as the base for a cheesy pizza!

Brown chicken but don't fully cook.

Since you'll be cooking chicken as a “pizza”, you can brown chicken well but you don't need to worry about cooking all the way to 165 internal temperature right away – it will cook the rest of the way when baking.

Bake chicken until cheese is bubbly and crunchy.

This baked chicken is solid and full of pizza flavor – but you want it to have nicely crisped cheese. keep baking it until it browns!
