You are going to LOVE this!
Do chicken and pizza have to be singular flavors? We think not! Instead, combine the deliciousness of the two meals you love to get the most scrumptious low carb meal you’ve ever tasted. Seriously, your taste buds won’t know what hit them! It’s just that delicious.
We all know that regular pizza is a no-go when it comes to the keto diet. There are just too many carbs most of which are found in the crust. That’s why we say forget the crust and focus on the flavors that you love the most–pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. All of this is layered over the chicken thighs. Bake it to a golden bubbly, and the result is a chicken pizza that is to die for!
