Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped rotisserie chicken, egg, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, salt, and pepper.

3
On a piece of parchment paper, press the chicken mixture into a thin, flat pizza crust shape.
4
Place the crust on the parchment paper into an air fryer basket.

Air fry for about 5 minutes on each side. For extra crispy edges, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6
Remove the cooked crust from the air fryer and spread the ranch dressing evenly over the top.
7
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled turkey bacon.
8
Return the pizza to the air fryer and cook for another few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9
Garnish with chopped parsley.
10
Slice and serve immediately, with extra ranch for dipping if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Finely chop the rotisserie chicken into small, uniform pieces to ensure an even, cohesive crust that holds together without gaps.
Pat the crust mixture firmly into the baking pan or pizza stone to compress it; this creates crispness and prevents a gummy center.
Par-bake the chicken crust for 8–10 minutes before adding toppings to set the base and reduce moisture, resulting in a crispier final texture.
Use full-fat ranch dressing or crema for creaminess; light versions can make the pizza watery.

Substitutions

Turkey bacon → regular bacon or prosciutto (adds saltiness; reduce added salt slightly)
Mozzarella → cheddar or provolone (changes flavor profile but melts similarly)
Parmesan → Pecorino Romano (sharper taste; use the same amount)
Ranch dressing → Greek yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning (lower fat, tangier)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

Common Questions

Can I use fresh chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Yes. Use cooked, finely chopped fresh chicken breast (about 1.5 cups). Rotisserie chicken is convenient and adds flavor, but fresh works equally well.

Is this pizza really low-carb?

Yes. A chicken-and-egg crust has minimal carbs compared to traditional pizza dough, making it suitable for keto and low-carb diets. Check your ranch dressing label for added sugars.
