Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion sliced
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a 10-inch circle. Make sure it's even and about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Bake the chicken crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the crust is cooked through.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms.
  6. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a crispier crust, pat the chicken mixture down firmly before baking.
• Avoid overmixing the chicken mixture to prevent a tough crust.
• Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
Food Safety:
• Ensure ground chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
