Ingredients

Chicken Crust

  • 20 Ounces Canned Chicken (drained and rinsed well)
  • 1 Egg
  • 2/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Caesar Dressing

  • 1 1/2 Cups Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Lemon (juiced)
  • 1 Anchovy
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Salad Topping

  • 2 Heads Romaine Lettuce (washed and chopped)
  • Parmesan Cheese (grated, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken crust.
  2. Line Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
  3. Prepare Crust: In a food processor, combine the canned chicken, egg, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pulse the mixture until it’s thoroughly combined and forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.
  4. Shape Pizza Crust: Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using clean hands lightly oiled if necessary, press and spread the mixture into a circle about 1/4 inch thick to form the pizza crust.
  5. Bake Pizza Crust: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the crust for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and feels firm to the touch.
  6. Remove from Oven: Once baked, remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely to set the structure.
  7. Prepare Dressing: While the crust is baking, add the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, anchovy, garlic cloves, parmesan cheese, and ground black pepper to a blender. Blend until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  8. Wash and Chop Lettuce: Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in a large bowl.
  9. Toss Salad: Add the freshly prepared Caesar dressing and grated parmesan cheese to the bowl with the chopped lettuce. Toss well to ensure the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
  10. Add Salad to Crust: Once the chicken crust has cooled, spread the tossed Caesar salad evenly over the top of the crust.
  11. Garnish, Serve, and Enjoy: Garnish the pizza with an extra sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a dash of ground black pepper if desired. Slice and serve this delicious chicken crust Caesar salad pizza immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • If the chicken mixture feels too sticky to handle while shaping the crust, lightly oil your hands to make it easier to press into shape.
  • Ensure the crust is fully cooled before adding the salad topping to prevent wilting the lettuce.
  • The anchovy in the dressing adds authentic Caesar flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • This recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates due to using chicken as the crust base instead of flour.
  • Use fresh parmesan cheese for the best flavor impact in both crust and dressing.
