Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken – (raw; use dark meat, not chicken breast)
- ½ cup parmesan cheese – grated (not shredded)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Toppings:
- ½ cup pizza sauce – I use Rao’s pizza sauce
- 4 ounces mozzarella – shredded (1 cup)
Optional Toppings:
- 1 ounce pepperoni – thinly sliced
- ¼ cup black olives – sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan with heatproof parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, grated parmesan, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
- Spread the mixture on the pan thinly and evenly to a 12-inch circle, about ¼-inch thick. It helps to place a sheet of parchment on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to flatten it. Remove the top parchment after you’re done spreading the mixture on the pan.
- Bake the crust until firm and the edges are golden brown, for about 30 minutes. It should appear visibly dry. If there’s still moisture on top, keep baking it.
- Remove the crust from the oven (keep the oven on) and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the baked crust. Add the mozzarella, pepperoni, and olives (or your favorite toppings).
- Return the pizza to the oven for 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Allow the pizza to rest for a few minutes, then cut it into six slices and serve.
