    Keto Conversion

    One of my very favorite recipes to turn to when I wanted something easy and delicious was my regular Chicken Baseball Recipe. I loved how the savory cream cheese, chicken, and mushroom filling contrasted with the golden buttery crescent roll dough.

    Once going keto however, that recipe was off the menu. I played around with the idea of making it keto but never did. Until last summer. The kids were home and I was making the Chicken Baseball recipe for them. So, I decided to also make a Keto Chicken Baseball at the same time.

    How I adapted this recipe

    The filling is the close to the same, but the crescent dough had to be substituted. I decided to make a low carb pizza crust recipe that has become my go-to pizza crust whenever making keto pizza.

    I substituted the bread crumb topping with ground pork rinds that I mixed with some Italian seasoning. A full fat version of cream cheese was used instead of reduced fat and heavy cream for the milk.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Low Carb Pizza Crust Recipe

    Chicken Tenders or Chicken Breast sliced into strips

    Butter

    Cream Cheese

    Minced Dried Onion

    Fresh Mushrooms

    Heavy Cream

    Ground Pork Rinds

    Tips and substitutions

    When making these Keto Chicken Baseballs, you need to keep in mind that it is a fragile recipe. The dough is not the same as a gluten filled crescent roll dough. It can tear easily. Below are some ways to make sure that your keto chicken base ball turns out the way it should and some substitution ideas for other ingredients in the recipe

    • The keto pizza dough is fragile. You need to roll it out a little thicker than you would if you were making pizza crust.
    • I highly recommend using fresh mushrooms. Canned mushrooms leave a tinny flavor to the recipe.
    • Substitute leftover cooked chicken for the chicken tenders.
    • Substitute thawed frozen peas for the mushrooms
    • Brush the dough with egg yolk to aid in browning and help keep the dough firm.
