Ingredients

Scale

Crust 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

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 20 pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive mixture.
  3. Shape the Crust: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a round pizza shape on the prepared baking tray, pressing it down firmly to ensure it holds together while baking.
  4. Bake the Crust: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is firm and lightly golden around the edges.
  5. Add Sauce: Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface to create a flavorful base for your toppings.
  6. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top.
  7. Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then slice and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
