Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Transfer the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape into a round crust, 10-12 inches wide.
- Bake the crust in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden-brown.
- Remove the crust and drain any excess liquid; pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and a pinch of salt to the garlic; simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Spread the sauce over the baked chicken crust, leaving a border.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add your preferred toppings evenly over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for an additional 12-18 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for a crisp finish, watching closely.
- Let the pizza rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into wedges and serve with fresh basil.

Notes
Optimal chicken should be 90-93% lean to avoid sogginess. Avoid overcrowding the pizza with toppings for best results.
