Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F.
-
Dump that chicken into a bowl and mash it up. I mean really mash it. DESTROY IT! It needs to be extremely fine or else you’ll have a chunky crust…and nobody likes a chunky crust.
-
Add the egg in with the chicken, along with all the spices and parmesan cheese.
-
Mix it up well until there’s no more streaks of eggs showing. All the spices are to taste, so if you need a stronger flavor, then add more. I usually like strong flavors, but I just eyeball it and go with how I feel.
-
Throw it into a pizza pan and crush that sucker down with your fork.
-
Put it in the oven for 15, until you see that it’s set on the top. It will have a little bit of browning around the edges – that’s when you know.
-
SMOTHER it with sauce, I mean make it drown…make it pay for teasing your tastebuds.
-
Absolutely destroy this bad boy with cheese. You’re worth it!
-
Bake for another 15 minutes.

Why this Easiest Keto Meatza You’ll Ever Make! works for PCOS
With 92g of protein per serving (about 48% of calories), this Easiest Keto Meatza You’ll Ever Make! sits at the top end of the 25-35g per-meal range that the 2023 International PCOS Guideline recommends for managing insulin resistance and supporting lean mass. Higher-protein meals also blunt the glucose response when carbohydrates are included, which matters for women with PCOS because chronic insulin elevation drives androgen excess and irregular cycles.
At 8g of carbohydrates per serving, this Easiest Keto Meatza You’ll Ever Make! is on the lower-carb end, which suits women with PCOS who have confirmed insulin resistance or who notice strong post-meal energy crashes. Pair lower-carb meals like this with a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables to keep fibre intake up.
Fat makes up about 52% of calories in this dish. Dietary fat plays a load-bearing role in PCOS because sex hormones are synthesised from cholesterol, and very-low-fat eating can suppress hormone production over time. The 2023 PCOS guideline does not specify a strict fat target, but most clinicians recommend at least 25-35% of calories from a mix of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated sources.
Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Easiest Keto Meatza You’ll Ever Make! that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
