I ended up doing this:

[JsonConverter(typeof(MyCustomClassConverter))]
public class MyCustomClass
{
  internal class MyCustomClassConverter : JsonConverter
  {
    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
      throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
      JObject jObject = JObject.Load(reader);

      foreach (var prop in jObject)
      {
        return new MyCustomClass { Key = prop.Key, Value = prop.Value.ToString() };
      }

      return null;
    }

    public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
    {
      return typeof(MyCustomClass).IsAssignableFrom(objectType);
    }
  }

  public string Key { get; set; }
  public string Value { get; set; }
}
