Chicken Crust Pizza Recipe

Chicken Crust Pizza (2 Servings)

1 lb (450g) ground chicken (preferably lean)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 large egg
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup sugar-free pizza sauce (or homemade marinara)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (more for topping)
1/4 cup pepperoni slices (or any preferred toppings like veggies, chicken, etc.)
Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a round pizza shape, about 8-10 inches in diameter. Use your hands or a spatula to flatten and smooth the edges.
Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is cooked through.

Remove the chicken crust from the oven. Spread a thin layer of sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by your choice of toppings (pepperoni, veggies, additional chicken, etc.).
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional) and serve!
