Ingredients
1.5 pounds ground chicken (93% lean or higher)
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings (as desired)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, egg, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until just combined.
3. Press mixture onto prepared baking sheet into a 1/4-inch thick round or rectangle. Form a slightly raised edge.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and lightly golden. Drain excess liquid with a paper towel.
5. Spread marinara sauce over crust, leaving edges bare. Sprinkle mozzarella and add toppings.
6. Return to oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Cool 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan and use dairy-free mozzarella. Ensure the crust is an even thickness for uniform baking. Draining liquid after the first bake is crucial for a crispy crust. Avoid overloading with toppings to prevent sogginess.
