Whether you are just dipping your toe in the low carb waters, or you have been fat adapted for years - one thing that you have likely noticed is the lack of keto convenience foods. The options available are few and far between.
They can be tough to find in regular grocery stores, aren't always kid friendly and are usually pretty pricey. I don't know about you, but sometimes I want to be able to eat, without spending lots of time in the kitchen. Don’t get me wrong, I love to cook, but I’m still human and sometimes, I just don’t feel like it or don’t have time.
In the past, when I was short on time (or motivation) I would dig into my freezer and pull out old trusty; AKA a frozen pizza! Unfortunately, there is only one real option for keto frozen pizza. While it is delish its pretty expensive at around $7 per personal sized pizza which makes it a luxury item for my family of 7! To top it off, it's also not widely available in my area and I'm not about to go to multiple stores to round up a few frozen pizzas.
I set out to make my own and I think I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself! I like doing these as single serving size, because it’s a little too easy to get carried away on pizza, PLUS they make a great (and quick) lunch for my kiddos.
The recipe is seriously so easy that you may question why you haven’t tried it in the past.
Start by preheating you’re oven to 350 degrees F, and prepare your pans with nonstick spray. I use 4, 7” round pans, but you could also use 8” round cake pans, small square pans, or even or a large sheet pan. Using the round pan makes it more pizza like and using a smaller pan makes it easier to spread the crust from my experience.
Next, place the chicken, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and eggs in a food processor. Process until it forms a fairly smooth paste and there are no chunks.
Divide this mixture into your prepared baking pans, and spread out evenly I used a little over ½ cup per pizza. Remember, as the chicken cooks, it will shrink some, so you want to spread it as thinly as possible and all the way to the edge of the pan. I used the back of a measuring cup, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove from oven and top with sauce (try THIS HOMEMADE MARINARA!), cheese and any additional toppings that’s you like. Return to oven for 2-5 minutes, until cheese has just slightly melted (this just helps keep the toppings attached to your pizza) If you would like to eat it immediately, continue cooking until toppings are as done as you like them.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a large freezer bag.
To reheat, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pizza on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly browned - or if you are like me - really browned!

Do you precook the chicken or is it raw before placing in food processor?
Sabra says
It is raw, you could also use pre-ground chicken from the grocery, but I think doing it myself gives it a more pizza crust like texture 🙂
Glenn says
Hi Sabra,
I apologize if I missed it in your post. How many 4.7" or 8" pizzas will this recipe make?
Thank you,
Glenn
Sabra says
It makes 4 pizzas total, using a 7 or 8 inch pan (although the pizza with shrink about and inch r so once cooked).
Hope you enjoy!

Hi! Can I use ground chicken best for this rather than intact breast? Thanks for the recipe!
Suz says
I mean breast.
