Who doesn’t love pizza night?! Whether you’re eating keto, gluten-free, or just trying to reach your protein goals, this macro-friendly pizza hits all the right notes. It’s cheesy, savory, and super satisfying — but without the bloat or carb crash.
I’ve seen versions of this using raw ground chicken, but let’s be honest… I try to avoid handling raw meat whenever I can 😅. So this recipe uses pre-cooked chicken breast for a quicker, cleaner option. Everything blends together smoothly in the food processor– my fav is from Cuisinart. Find it on Amazon here!!
✨ What Makes It Great:
- ✅ Gluten-Free
- ✅ Low Carb / Keto
- ✅ High Protein (~45g per serving!)
