Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large Bowl
- Rolling pin
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- ½ cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ bell pepper thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to the center of the lined baking sheet. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken into a thin, even crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the top parchment paper and bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Once the crust is cooked, remove it from the oven and spread the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the sliced bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure the chicken crust is cooked thoroughly before adding toppings.
Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference or dietary needs.
If you prefer a crispier crust, consider pre-baking the chicken crust for an additional 5-10 minutes before adding toppings.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
