This life-changing chicken crust pizza is made with ground chicken, parmesan, and spices. It's delicious and sturdy enough to hold in your hands!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken (raw; use dark meat, not chicken breast)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated, not shredded)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 4 ounces mozzarella (shredded; 1 cup)
- 1 ounce pepperoni (thinly sliced )
- ¼ cup black olives (sliced)
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan with heatproof parchment paper.
- 2
In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, grated parmesan, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

Spread the mixture on the pan thinly and evenly to a 12-inch circle, about ¼-inch thick. It helps to place a sheet of parchment on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to flatten it. Remove the top parchment after you're done spreading the mixture on the pan.

Bake the crust until firm and the edges are golden brown, for about 30 minutes. It should appear visibly dry. If there’s still moisture on top, keep baking it.
- 5
Remove the crust from the oven (keep the oven on) and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
- 6
Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the baked crust. Add the mozzarella, pepperoni, and olives (or your favorite toppings).
- 7
Return the pizza to the oven for 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.

Allow the pizza to rest for a few minutes, then cut it into six slices and serve.
