Ingredients

For the pizza base:

  • 1 pre-made keto-friendly crust (like cauliflower crust, almond flour crust, or homemade) (Simple Mills, Cali’flour, or Real Good Foods brands work great!)

For the toppings:

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works!)

1/3 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce (like Primal Kitchen or make your own)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (or dairy-free mozzarella alternative)

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven according to your crust package or recipe instructions (typically 400°F).
  2. Prepare chicken: In a small bowl, toss shredded chicken with half of the BBQ sauce.
  3. Assemble pizza: Place crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the BBQ chicken, shredded cheese, and sliced red onions.
  4. Bake: Bake according to your crust’s instructions—usually about 8–12 minutes—until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish: Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
  6. Slice and serve hot!

Tips & Variations

  • Dairy-free? Use your favorite dairy-free mozzarella like Violife or Daiya Cutting Board Blend.
  • Extra smoky flavor: Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the BBQ sauce or top with a few crumbled bacon pieces.
  • Want a spicy kick? Drizzle with a little sugar-free chipotle mayo after baking.
  • Make it a meal prep win: Cook extra BBQ chicken and save for wraps or salads later in the week.

Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze individual slices for quick reheat lunches. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
