High Protein Garlic Parmesan Chicken Crust

A viral recipe thatโ€™s low carb, packed with protein, and incredibly versatile

If youโ€™ve been on social media lately, youโ€™ve probably seen the viral chicken crust recipes that are popping up everywhere. Iโ€™ve tested and made so many versions of this recipe over time, and I can confidently say this one is my favorite.

The real game changer for this version? Roasted garlic.

Adding roasted garlic takes the flavor to a completely different level. It adds a rich, slightly sweet garlic flavor that blends perfectly with the parmesan and herbs. The result is a crispy, flavorful chicken crust that works beautifully as a pizza base, taco shell, wrap, or even a flatbread.

Even better, this recipe is very low carb and incredibly high in protein, making it a great option for anyone focusing on weight loss, strength training, or simply adding more protein to their meals.
