This Chicken crust pizza is my quick and easy Easy Weeknight Meal version, packed with flavor and ready in under an hour. Gluten free pizza crusts are all the rage, it started with Cauliflower crusts and then Chicken. In my Chicken and Cauliflower Pizza recipe I combine both so get a lighter crust and I use Chicken breast that I process myself. I prefer Chicken breast in the pizza base. In this Easy Weeknight Meal version, I use ground Chicken to save time, but most of the time ground Chicken is made using dark meat. You can also use Turkey meat for this recipe.
Coconut flour is great in this gluten free recipe. I was surprised that it has no strong Coconut taste or flavor. Together with an egg it helps create a sturdy base for this pizza. You can actually pick up a slice!
