Equipment
- Large bowl
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- 450 g ground chicken
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 20 pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the chicken mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape it into a thin, even circle or rectangle—aim for around ½-inch thickness for optimal crispiness.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until it turns golden and feels firm to the touch.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes to set. During this time, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese and your pepperoni slices (or other toppings of choice).
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
