Ingredients
Scale
450 g ground chicken
2 large eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozarella cheese
20 turkey pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, eggs, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Transfer mixture to baking sheet and press into a thin, even circle.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and firm. Let rest for 5 minutes.

- Bake for 8-10 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, use lean ground chicken and press it very thin.
- Let the crust rest after the first bake to prevent sogginess.
- Leftovers reheat well in an air fryer or toaster oven.
