Description

A flavorful pizza with a crispy ground chicken crust, topped with gooey mozzarella, zesty pepperoni, and savory tomato sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (for topping)
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Combine the ground chicken, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, the egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a pizza crust.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the pepperoni slices on top.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can prepare the chicken mixture a day in advance. For extra crispiness, broil for the last minute of baking.
