Crustless Garlic Chicken Pizza: Low-Carb Dinner Delight
It is a normal, chaotic Wednesday in the Raynor household. It’s a church night; the kids need to get baths; the hubs and I both need showers; and everyone needed to be fed. Thankfully, it was summer, so we had a little more time to look presentable for church. Enter my latest recipe, “Crustless Garlic Chicken Pizza”, which ended up being exactly what our busy evening needed.
When Pizza Night Needed a Twist
Wednesday is a normal pizza night for us. But that night, I just wasn’t feeling it, and the hubs wasn’t eating any carbs either. Yet the kids were determined to have pizza.
That meant I needed to come up with something that would satisfy everyone.
I knew I had chicken in the fridge that needed to be used, but I had no idea what I was going to do. My first thought was my easy shredded chicken tacos, but we had tacos a few nights prior. So I went searching for inspiration.
How This Crustless Garlic Chicken Pizza Was Born
I came across a recipe online from Land O’Lakes for a Garlic Chicken Pizza. It looked easy enough. With a few small tweaks – adding more chicken, sauce, and parmesan cheese, and skipping the crust altogether – this low-carb version came together.
I baked everything in a 7×11 baking dish until it was hot and bubbly, and dinner was on the table without much fuss.
The best part? I had all the ingredients on hand AND could still make my Quick Pizza Dough for the kids.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
