Keto Milanesa de Pollo Napoletana Recipe (Keto Pizza Crust)

Craving pizza but can’t have the carbs? 

 

Have you ever tried a milanesa de pollo?

Well, it’s a simple dish that gives you all the cheesy goodness of pizza but with chicken as the “crust”.

This recipe results in a softer “crust” than a traditional milanesa de pollo which is full flattened chicken breasts that are breaded and fried. Because of the egg and cheese in the chicken”dough”, it’s a softer bite each time. 

Chicken Base:

1. Roast a medium sized chicken and allow to cool to  room temperature 

2. Remove the white meat and place on a large cutting board 

3. Cut the white meat into 1x1 inch chunks and place back into a large mixing bowl

4. Add 2 eggs

5. Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

6. Add 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese

7. Add 1 tbsp almond flour

Preheat the oven to 400F

Mix all ingredients in the large bowl and form a large ball with your hands 

Grease the “pizza” pan with butter

Place the chicken “dough” onto the center of the pan

Spread out to cover the entire pan with a raised outer edge like a pizza crust.

Place in oven and cook until tender with the butter bubbling from the edges.

Remove from oven.

Toppings:

1. Make your keto-friendly red sauce 

(3 cups of diced tomatoes, garlic, limited onion, a splash of a dry red wine, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes to taste. Add 2 tsp of erythritol if the sauce is too acidic)

2. Slice your bufala mozzarella and season it

3. Cut the prosciutto de Parma into strips

Milanesa de Pollo Napoletana Preparation:

This is the easy part. Just treat it like you’re making a pizza!

Add your sauce

Add your cheese

Place in the 400F oven and cook until cheese is melted

When the cheese is almost melted to your liking, add the prosciutto for 2-3 minutes to sweat. You can alternatively do this in an air-fryer and add on top of the completed dish. 

Prosciutto can be replaced with any ham or even bacon. 

Note that in a traditional milanesa de pollo napoletana, the ham is placed on the bottom with the sauce and cheese on top. 

Enjoy!
