Ground Chicken and Grated Parmesan cheese Pizza crust--so good and A1c friendly
FOR THE CHICKEN CRUST:
450 g (1 lb.) ground chicken
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
TOPPINGS
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup pepperoni slices
1/2 cup chopped green onions
Hot honey (for drizzling)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone spatula to spread it out into a thin, even rectangle or square—about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it rest on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, followed by the mozzarella, pepperoni, and green onions.
Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted. For a golden finish, broil for 1–2 minutes—but watch closely so it doesn’t burn!
Drizzle with hot honey and scatter fresh basil leaves over the top. Slice and enjoy!
