Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (low sugar preferred)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., cooked chicken pieces, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin crust. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch, ensuring it covers the parchment paper in a pizza shape.
- 4. Bake the chicken crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked and lightly golden brown.
- 5. Remove the chicken crust from the oven. Carefully spread the marinara sauce evenly over the cooked chicken crust, leaving a small border.
- 6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then, add your chosen toppings.
- 7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the toppings are heated through.
- 8. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
