Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl
This Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl is a clever, protein-packed alternative to traditional pizza. By using ground chicken as the “base,” you get a satisfying, savory foundation that holds up to all your favorite toppings without the heavy carbs of a flour crust. It’s essentially a “meatza” that hits all the right notes—melty mozzarella, zesty sauce, and the classic crunch of fresh peppers and onions.

How To Make Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl
Step 1: Prep and Season the “Crust”: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the 1 pound of ground chicken with the oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed through the meat.

Step 2: Shape and Pre-Bake: Grease a pie dish or a small baking pan. Press the chicken mixture firmly into the bottom, spreading it out to form an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and the edges are starting to turn golden.

Step 3: Add the Toppings: Remove the chicken base from the oven. Carefully spread the 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over the top, then layer on the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, olives, peppers, and onions.
Step 4: The Final Melt: Return the dish to the oven for another 5/7 minutes. You want the cheese to be completely melted, bubbly, and perhaps just starting to brown.
Step 5: Rest and Serve: Let the pizza bowl sit for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices from the chicken and the melted cheese to set, making it much easier to serve.
