Ingredients:
1 can (12 ounces / 340g) chunk chicken breast, drained (or 12 ounces of chopped rotisserie chicken)
2 eggs
½ cup (50g) grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, combine the drained chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth, or you can mix by hand with a fork.
Spread the chicken mixture into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring an even thickness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite pizza toppings, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Slice and serve!
Topping Ideas:
Cheese Pizza:
Top with marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of parmesan. Add fresh basil after baking for extra flavor.
Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza:
Add a layer of marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, and slices of pepperoni. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil before baking.
White Pizza:
Skip the tomato sauce and spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese or Alfredo sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella, garlic, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Add spinach or mushrooms if desired.
Tips:
For a crispier crust, preheat the baking sheet before adding the chicken mixture.
Add other herbs and spices to the chicken mixture, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning, for extra flavor.
