I think to myself, “that sounds pretty good.” Then I remember how infrequently I make pizza, and I file it in my deep memory. I couple days later I see the video in my feed again and I have a keto epiphany… I could make this recipe and shape it into fries rather than crusts: Chicken Fries!!!

Full disclosure: I actually did not use the inspirational crust recipe. I went to my standby Fat Head recipe for the basis: mozzarella, cream cheese & spices, no flour or egg, add chicken. Here’s my riff.

Ingredient List

• 25 oz chicken breast meat* crumbled
• 1 tsp each onion powder & garlic powder
• 8 oz Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 oz Cream cheese

Preparation

1. Drain canned chicken. Crumble and mix in seasonings. Set aside.
2. Melt cheeses together in microwave, stirring every 30-60 seconds.
3. Add chicken mix to cheese mix. Mix well, then knead to well distribute chicken.
4. Press or roll into a rough rectangle, no less than 1/4″ thickness, place dough on lined baking sheet
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, remove from oven and carefully flip onto a cutting board. Score into french fry shapes with pizza cutter. Move back onto lined baking sheet and bake another 10-12 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and break up the fries. Bake loose fries another 5 minutes, if desired.
7. Serve with dipping sauce, perhaps sour cream mixed with salsa verde for example.

* I use Members Mark natural chicken breast in water from Sam’s Club, 2 12.5 oz cans.
