Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz pepperoni slices


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread the mixture into a thin crust, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick, on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden.
  4. After baking, remove from the oven and add pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices on top.
  5. Increase the oven temperature to 415 degrees F and bake again for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it rest slightly, slice, serve, and enjoy!

Make sure to spread the chicken mixture evenly for a consistent crust.
Feel free to add your favorite toppings to customize your pizza.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
