Keto Thigh Chicken Flatbread Pizza
A carb-free pizza topped with a tomato-ey, peanut sauce.
A keto-friendly pizza is delivered by the team at Key for Keto. I was expecting an unusual ‘pizza’ based on its not being a wheat-based base and involving peanut butter however it was FAB-U-LOUS!
I broke this recipe down into three parts – the base, the sauce and the toppings. The most fiddly part was the base – a cheesy slab of keto-goodness! The recipe stated there were 12 servings which for four people would be 3 slices each. I spread out the keto base as far as I could push it without it getting too thin and fiddly. My flatbread pizza served four, each person having 1 large, loaded slice each. I did not have a “silpat” so I used a traditional baking tray lined with parchment and the base lifted off really nicely.
Eh? Tomato pizza sauce with peanuts?
Using a tomato and peanut butter based sauce for pizza is an interesting and unique combination of flavors. The sweetness from the peanut butter complements the acidity of the tomatoes, while also adding texture and richness to the pizza. This type of sauce can be used as either a primary or secondary topping on your favorite pizza recipes. It pairs particularly well with toppings such as fresh tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. You can also add spices and herbs to the sauce to give it a more complex flavor profile.
Blog useful – Keto Flatbread
Keto Flatbread is a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed on the keto diet. It’s made with only three simple ingredients, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and almond flour. The combination of these ingredients, and additional herbs for a more intense flavor, creates a dough-like substance that can be rolled out and cooked on a hot skillet or baked in an oven.
Cream cheese is a soft, mild-tasting cheese made from cow’s milk. It is used in many dishes and recipes to add a creamy texture and flavor. Buffalo mozzarella is an Italian cheese traditionally made with water buffalo’s milk. This type of cheese has a slightly sweet taste and higher fat content than other types of mozzarella. It’s often used in dishes that require a higher fat content to help keep them moist and flavorful.
Tell me about chicken satay…
Chicken satay is an Indonesian dish that originated hundreds of years ago. It is traditionally made with seasoned, skewered chicken that is grilled over a fire and served with a peanut sauce. The combination of chicken and peanuts has come to be one of the most popular dishes in Southeast Asia, as well as around the world.
Peanuts are a great addition to any keto diet as they are high in protein and contain no carbohydrates. This makes them perfect for those looking to reduce their carb intake while still getting a healthy dose of essential amino acids. Peanuts also contain several beneficial vitamins and minerals, making them an excellent choice for those on the keto diet. Additionally, peanuts are low in calories and can help you feel full for longer, making them a great snack to have on hand. All of these factors make peanuts an ideal choice for those looking to maintain their keto lifestyle.

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F.
- First combine all of the ingredients for the sauce.
- Use an immersion blender if you need to to emulsify the coconut oil into the sauce. I didn’t have too big an issue because I was using melted coconut oil.
- Get the ingredients ready for the base of your pizza. The mozzarella and cream cheese in one bowl, then all of the dry ingredients in another.
- Microwave the cheese for about 1 minute on high or until it’s melted and bubbling on the sides.
- Add the egg to the cheese and mix together well.
- Then, add the dry ingredients into the cheese and thoroughly mix.
- On a silpat, press the pizza base from edge to edge, creating a large rectangle the size of a cookie sheet.
- Put the pizza in the oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until it’s nice and browned on the top.
- Chop the pre-cooked chicken into bite sized chunks and set aside.
- Flip the pizza over so that the bottom is now facing the top.
- Top the pizza with the sauce, chicken, shredded carrots, and mozzarella.
- Place back into the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melted.
- Top with mung bean sprouts, chopped spring onion, chopped peanuts and cilantro to taste.
