Calories: 116kcal
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Toppings:
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- Sauteed veggies like broccoli, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and prep 2 pieces of parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add ground chicken, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well with spatula to combine.
- Transfer chicken mixture onto parchment paper, form a ball and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Using your hands, press into a round pizza crust approximately 1/4 inch thick. Carefully remove top parchment paper and smooth out with wet spatula, dipping it into a bowl with water as necessary.
- Transfer the crust, by holding onto parchment paper, onto baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until edges start to brown. Your pre-baked crust is ready.
- To make pizza, spread thin layer of sauce and top with your favorite toppings. Return pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. You can broil it at the end.
- Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate prebaked pizza crust wrapped in plastic wrap for 3 days and add toppings after.
- Freeze: Freeze leftover pizza slices in an airtight container for up to 3 months. If you would like to freeze the crust, I highly recommend to freeze the prebaked pizza crust (vs. the uncooked) wrapped in a plastic wrap for 3 months. Thaw on a counter for 2 hours, then add toppings and bake.
