    Mini keto chicken pizza crust bites make a great snack or appetizer and best of all, they are low carb and gluten-free!  They are easy to make and can be whipped up in minutes. A recipe that even children and my husband could make too!

    Ground chicken is used for the pizza crust with no flour used. Just chicken, cheese and seasoning for a great taste and low carb pizza. Add your favorite pizza toppings for your pizza cravings!

    keto chicken pizza bites

    These were initially made as a quick snack for the Chief Taster when I did not have much time to cook.  I had not intended to make this a recipe but the result was so good that it made the blog!

    HOW MANY CARBS IN CHICKEN PIZZA CRUST?

    A regular pizza crust made with wheat flour has 30g carbohydrates making it not suitable for a low carb diet. This keto chicken pizza crust has only 1g net carb a mini pizza bite. It's an easy choice!

    CHICKEN PIZZA INGREDIENTS

    Enjoy the flavors of pizza without too much work using these little bites. This keto chicken crust pizza recipe requires only a couple of ingredients and is made in just a few minutes. It's a great low carb alternative to Fathead pizza crust if you reduce your cheese.

    chicken pizza ingredients

    I just topped the chicken pizza bites with a simple keto pizza sauce and more cheese. You could add other toppings as you wish. Perhaps some olives, pepperoni and sweet peppers?  

    HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN PIZZA BITES

    ingredients in a bowl

    Mix all ingredients in a bowl

    scooping chicken base in muffin tin

    Use a cookie scoop to place the chicken base in a mini muffin tin

    cheese on mini pizza

    Bake and then top with marinara sauce and mozzarella, return to the oven

    Serve and watch them disappear

    Making these is as simple as adding ground chicken, cheese and pizza flavorings. Press them down in a muffin tin, cook, top and voila!  Treats all round!  I used a mini muffin tin but a regular muffins would be just as delicious.

    STORAGE

    Although these are best made fresh you could store any leftovers (I'm not sure what that is for these though!) in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat them and they should last the next day.

    RECIPE TIPS

    If you don't have a muffin tin you could make these by rolling out balls on a parchment paper lined baking tray.  Press them down into circle, cover with the sauce and cheese and you are good to go! 

    We used this recipe for mini pizza bites but you could use this to make a large pizza. Spread the chicken and cheese base over a large parchment paper lined pizza pan instead of using mini muffin tins.

    Ground turkey can be used in place of the chicken to make this low carb pizza crust. It works the same but just has a slightly darker colour.

      Can you add other pizza meat to it? Might have to try ground turkey.

      I made these tonight for the Patriot’s playoff game. I bought a cooked whole chicken from BJ’s and deboned it this morning. I only used 3 cups of chicken, I chopped it by hand and then put it in my food processor. I filled them about half way in the muffin times and cooked them a few more minutes then the recipe. They came out delicious. I am on the keto diet and to have yummy pizzas without a bread crust is wonderful. These are my new go to appetizers.

      You say use 500 g of chicken.
      How many cups if cooked chicken is that?

        About 3 to 4 cups. I've made this without measuring it too and it works out fine.

      Is this ground chicken or finely chopped raw chicken?

        It was raw chicken blitzed in the food processor. You could use raw chicken mince too.

      Sorry for the probably silly question- is the chicken raw? I think so from your comments, but I bet this would work with finely chopped cooked chicken- the egg would bind it, and the cheese would help....thanks!

        Hi, yes it is raw. You are right about the finely chopped chicken though. What a great idea!
