Ingredients
450 g ground chicken
2 large eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
20 pepperoni slices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press it into a 1/4-inch thick circle or rectangle shape.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and firm. Carefully drain any excess liquid halfway through baking if needed.
Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the chicken crust. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
Bake for another 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Let the pizza rest for 3–5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Draining excess liquid helps create a firmer, crispier crust.
Ground turkey can be used instead of chicken for a similar texture.
Add extra toppings like mushrooms, olives, spinach, or jalapeños for variety.
For an even crispier crust, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
