Ingredients
Chicken Crust
- 1 lb ground 93% lean chicken
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Toppings
- ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- ¾ cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sliced bell pepper
- ½ cup broccoli crowns
- ¼ cup sliced red onion
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray them lightly with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Chicken Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Form and Flatten Crusts: With wet hands to prevent sticking, divide the mixture into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each one onto the prepared baking sheet into a circular shape about 7 inches in diameter and approximately ¼ inch thick.
- Bake the Crusts: Bake the chicken crusts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until they are cooked through and the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Add Toppings: Carefully flip each crust over. Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each crust, followed by 3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese. Top with sliced bell peppers, broccoli crowns, and red onion slices.
- Bake with Toppings: Return the pizzas to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the vegetables are tender.
Notes
- To prevent sticking when shaping the crusts, keeping your hands wet is key.
- You can customize the vegetable toppings to your preference or seasonal availability.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce post baking.
- Leftover pizza can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
