Description

This Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza is a low-carb, protein-packed dish that combines crispy chicken crust with fresh romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. It’s perfect for a light yet satisfying meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken Crust:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Toppings:

 

  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
  • Make the Crust: In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Shape & Bake: Form the mixture into a thin, round pizza crust on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  • Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a bowl, toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
  • Top the Pizza: Spread the dressed lettuce over the chicken crust. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan, black pepper, and cherry tomatoes (if using).

 

  • Serve & Enjoy: Slice and serve immediately. Add crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat!

Notes

  • You can swap ground turkey for chicken if preferred.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the crust for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use a low-fat Caesar dressing for a lighter version.

 

  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
