Ingredients & Directions
Directions
Chicken Pizza Crust
1 lb
1
egg
1/2 cup
shredded mozzarella
3/4 cup
seasoned Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup
grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon
extra virgin olive oil
all of your favorite toppings
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix the ground chicken, egg, shredded mozzarella and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Once combined, flatten out to form a “crust” on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (a half-sized sheet pan was used). Make sure to press into a thin, even rectangle shape and then drizzle the top with olive oil.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 23 - 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prep the toppings and set aside.
- Once the crust is baked, evenly spread your pasta sauce of choice over the crust.
- Add your favorite toppings.
- Crank the oven up to 425°F.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melty, and then broil for 4 - 5 minutes, or until you get those little brown bubbles on top of the cheese and the edges of the crust are crispy.
- Cut into squares and enjoy immediately. Sprinkle with Italian parsley, if desired.
Notes from Jess:
- Choose any of your favorite toppings, but don't overload the "crust" - it may not support the weight.
- It's possible to cook this in your air fryer if you have a large enough surface to make the crust thin. (Don't use parchment paper as it may catch on fire!) Air fry at 375°F for about 18 minutes. Add toppings and cook an additional 8 minutes. All fryers are different so adjust as needed to accommodate yours.
- Leftovers should be wrapped in aluminum foil and kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- She recommends reheating leftovers in the oven for best texture. Microwaving will result in a soggy pizza. Reheat at 375°F and pop the slices in for about 10 minutes.
