Inspired by the viral TikTok recipe, this easy chicken Caesar salad pizza uses canned chicken and egg to make the crust. You get all the handheld joy of a pizza combined with protein and greens. Top this meaty salad-pizza mashup with almond flour croutons or substitute bacon to make it gluten-free.
Ingredients
2 large cans of chicken (about 12 oz each), drained well
- 1 whole egg
- 2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 head romaine lettuce
Gluten-free croutons
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the chicken, egg, garlic powder, red pepper, and ⅔ cup parmesan in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a dough-like texture.
- Remove the “dough” from the food processor and form it into a large ball. Place the ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten to form a round crust about ¼-½” thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the crust is firm and lightly browned.
- In the meantime, wash, dry, and tear your lettuce into smaller pieces. Place them in a bowl. Add Caesar dressing and toss to coat.
- Remove the chicken crust from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Top with dressed lettuce, croutons, and a sprinkle of parmesan. Slice and enjoy!
