Steps by step instructions

How to make the low carb kfc chizza pizza?

Begin by slicing each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Place a piece of plastic cling wrap over the chicken and gently pound with a mallet until evenly flattened. In a shallow bowl, combine the breading seasonings, including psyllium husk powder, almond flour, grated parmesan, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, baking powder, and oregano. Mix well.
Dredge each flattened chicken breast in the breading mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated on both sides. Next, dip each piece into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge again in the breading mixture.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place each breaded chicken piece onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the oven. Top each piece with marinara sauce
Followed by shredded mozzarella cheese
Finally, arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the pepperoni is crispy around the edges.

Top Tip

After removing the Chizza from the oven, allow it to cool on a wire rack instead of leaving it on the baking sheet. This helps to prevent the breading on the bottom from becoming soggy, ensuring that your Chizza remains crispy and delicious all the way through.

Topping variations

Veggie Delight: Replace pepperoni with sliced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms for a colorful and flavorful veggie option. These toppings are low in carbs and add a satisfying crunch and sweetness to your Chizza.
Chicken Bacon Ranch: Top your Chizza with crispy bacon bits and a drizzle of ranch dressing. This combination is rich in flavor and protein, perfect for a satisfying low carb meal.
Mediterranean Twist: Opt for toppings like sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese crumbles to give your Chizza a Mediterranean flair.

Storage

Storage: Allow the Chizza to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Chizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual slices in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on high, checking periodically until warmed to your liking.

Frequently asked questions

Can I Freeze the Chizza for Later?

Yes, you can freeze the Chizza for future enjoyment. After allowing it to cool completely, wrap the Chizza tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating according to the reheating instructions.

Can I Substitute the Chicken Breast with Another Protein?

Absolutely! While the recipe calls for chicken breast as the base, you can experiment with other proteins such as turkey breast, pork loin, or even firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the protein you choose to ensure it's cooked through.
