¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup marinara or pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Tomato slices (to taste)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, mix ground chicken, parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Spread the mixture into a ¼-inch thick circle on the prepared sheet to form the crust.
-
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
-
Remove from oven, spread sauce, sprinkle cheese, and layer tomato slices.
-
Return to oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For a flavor twist, try pesto or Alfredo sauce instead of marinara.
Don’t overload with toppings to maintain a sturdy crust.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the oven at 425°F for 10 minutes or microwave until warm.
Canned chicken can be used—just drain well and add a binder like mayo.
