It is not easy to find a delicious, gluten-free, low carb, keto, or keto-friendly pizza crust. Despite the many dough options available, such as coconut, almond, and cheese, each one presents its own set of challenges.
Flourless pizza lovers know how difficult it can be for them to find gluten-free pizza crusts that are low in carbs and high in protein. The dough can taste wet or dry depending on the recipe. It may also take forever to make.
Jackie Hartlaub, TikTok star, and food content creator, has recently created a new pizza crust that uses one inexpensive ingredient. The best part is that the crust requires only three ingredients.
Her non-traditional pizza dough recipe has been viewed over 22 million times. It is even praised by some commenters as the best gluten-free pizza recipe they have ever tried!
Hartlaub is inspiring millions through her @lowcarbstateofmind TikTok profile with mouthwatering keto-friendly and low-carb recipes. We were smitten when Hartlaub shared her recipe for chicken pizza dough.
Hartlaub claims that you can make a delicious high-protein pizza dough from a can of chicken. One large egg, a 10-ounce chicken can, and half of a cup of Parmesan cheese will do.

Hartlaub uses real Parmesan cheese, but she admits that fake parmesan cheese from the green bottle is better. Once the ingredients have been combined, Hartlaub sprinkles with oregano and dried basil. The dough is then shaped on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then she bakes it in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 425°F.
Hartlaub cleverly finishes Hartlaub’s chicken pie crust by adding sugar-free BBQ sauce to it, shredded Monterey cheddar, sliced red onions, and bacon before returning it back to the oven for a final bake. She doesn’t specify for how long, but we’d suggest putting it under your oven’s broiler for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and crisp up the bacon.
Despite Hartlaub’s delicious low-carb pizza hack, some fans were confused by canned chicken, having never heard of it before. “Did you just say ‘a can’ of chicken? What in the USA,”One person commented.
Canned chicken can be added to sandwiches and salads, just like tuna fish. After the chicken has been fully cooked, drain it before making a buffalo chicken dip or a pizza crust.
As Hartlaub’s video demonstrates, the final product looks remarkably like normal thin-crust pizza dough. The crust can be combined with egg and cheese and it will hold up well. It may even become crispy depending on how long you cook.
Flavor-wise, the crust definitely tastes like chicken, which is why Hartlaub’s toppings make perfect sense to make a tasty BBQ chicken pizza. Alfredo sauces, spinach, onions and pesto with fresh basil tomatoes, mozzarella and mozzarella are all great topping options. There are many possibilities!
