Pro Tips

1. Drain chicken well: If using canned or leftover chicken, press out excess moisture to avoid a soggy crust.
2. Use parchment paper: It makes shaping and transferring the crust much easier—especially when working with sticky dough.
3. Pre-bake the crust: Always bake the chicken crust before adding toppings so it holds its shape and doesn’t fall apart.
4. Don’t overload toppings: These crusts are sturdy, but heavy toppings can make them break. Keep it balanced.
5. Let it cool slightly before slicing: This helps the cheese firm up so your slices hold together better.

Ingredient Substitutions

1. Mozzarella cheese → shredded provolone or Oaxaca cheese for a similar melt
2. Almond flour → coconut flour (use half the amount and add one more egg)
3. Parmesan cheese → nutritional yeast for a dairy-free, cheesy flavor
4. Buffalo sauce → sriracha + melted butter for a simple homemade alternative
5. Feta cheese → ricotta salata or crumbled goat cheese if feta isn’t available

Tip from Grammie Shirley

If you’re making extra crusts, bake them plain and freeze. Wrap tightly and reheat straight from frozen for a fast keto dinner later.
