Description

A delicious twist on traditional pizza using a chicken crust, topped with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g ground chicken
  • 2 large eggs
  • 60 g grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 120 ml pizza sauce
  • 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix ground chicken, eggs, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until homogenous.
  3. Evenly press the chicken mixture onto the prepared sheet to form a thin, uniform circle or rectangle.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and set. Rest for 5 minutes after baking.
  5. Increase oven temperature to 220°C. Spread pizza sauce over the crust, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
  6. Bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  7. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the ground chicken is well mixed to avoid uneven texture.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs to the chicken mixture.
  • This pizza is a great low-carb alternative to traditional pizza.
