Crispy Parmesan Chicken Crust Pizza
Ground chicken and parmesan are baked into a crispy, protein-packed crust topped with zesty tomato sauce and gooey melted mozzarella.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz ground chicken (93% lean)
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 large egg
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 cup tomato sauce (no sugar added)
1 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
4 whole fresh basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated parmesan, egg, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until the spices and egg are fully incorporated into the meat.
Transfer the chicken mixture to the center of the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten the chicken into a thin, even circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Remove the top layer of parchment and bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm.
Remove from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the 'crust' edge.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and return the pizza to the oven.
Bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble.
Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing into wedges.
