Craving a cheesy, indulgent pizza but not the extra carbs and calorie overload that often come with it? While traditional pizzas can be delicious, they may not always fit into your nutrition goals, especially if you're trying to increase your protein intake.

By swapping the usual dough base for protein-rich ingredients, you can enjoy a satisfying pizza that delivers on flavour without the guilt.

In an Instagram video shared on June 13, the fitness influencer explains, “This entire high-protein pizza is around 950 calories with 85 grams of protein.

It is super simple, very easy to make, tasty, good macros, and healthy. This is a great base if you want to incorporate pizza in your diet. Add more toppings. Get creative.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 250g minced chicken
• 4 tsp wheat flour
• 1½ tsp garlic powder
• 1½ tsp chilli flakes (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1½ tsp salt
• 1½ tsp black pepper
• 5 tbsp pizza sauce
• 50g mozzarella cheese, grated
• Oregano, for garnish

Method

1. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the minced chicken. Sprinkle in the wheat flour, garlic powder, chilli flakes, chilli powder, salt and black pepper.
2. Mix everything thoroughly until the eggs, chicken and seasonings are fully combined.
3. Transfer the mixture to a non-stick pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula, creating a round, pizza-like base of uniform thickness.
4. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the top looks mostly set.
5. Carefully flip the chicken-and-egg base. You can use a large plate or lid to help turn it over without breaking it.
6. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the surface, ensuring it reaches the edges for flavour in every bite.
7. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce, creating an even layer across the entire pizza.
8. Cover the pan once again and reduce the heat to low. Allow the pizza to cook for a few more minutes until the cheese has melted completely and turned gooey.
9. Remove the pizza from the heat and finish with a sprinkle of oregano and extra chilli flakes for added flavour.
10. Slice into wedges and serve hot. Feel free to customise it with your favourite toppings for an even heartier high-protein meal.
