Chicken Crust Pizza

Ingredients

Chicken Crust

• 450 g (1 lb) ground chicken
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup Black Diamond shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Toppings

• 1 cup Hunt’s pizza sauce
• 2 cups Black Diamond Low Fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Butterball turkey pepperoni slices
• ½ cup chopped green onions
• 1 tsp hot honey
• 10 fresh basil leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone spatula to spread it into a thin, even rectangle or square, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
4. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the crust rest on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
5. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, followed by the mozzarella, pepperoni, and green onions.
6. Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
7. For a golden finish, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely so the pizza does not burn.
8. Drizzle with the hot honey and scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top.
9. Slice and serve.
