This BBQ chicken crust pizza is one of those recipes that sounds unhinged… until you make it. The crust is made entirely from ground chicken (yes, really), baked until sturdy, then topped like a regular pizza with BBQ sauce, cheese, peppers, and onion.

It slices like pizza, eats like pizza, and somehow doesn’t feel like a “healthy swap” situation. If you’re looking for a high-protein dinner that still feels indulgent, this is it.

🧀 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

Chicken Crust

1 lb ground chicken
2 eggs
¼ tsp baking soda
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Toppings

BBQ sauce (to taste)

Onion, thinly sliced

🍕 How to Make It

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, eggs, baking soda, parmesan, and seasonings. Mix until fully combined.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared pizza pan, forming a thin pizza-shaped crust.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the crust is set and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and carefully spread BBQ sauce over the crust. Top with cheese, green pepper, and onion.
Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest for a few minutes, slice like pizza, and serve.

📝 Recipe Notes

Crispier crust: Flip the crust after the first bake and cook for an extra 5 minutes before topping.
Sauce swap: Buffalo sauce or garlic sauce works great here.
Add protein: Top with cooked chicken, bacon, or pulled pork.
Veggie add-ins: Mushrooms, jalapeños, or red onion all work well.
