Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Crust
  • 2 cups (about 2 large chicken breasts) cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Pizza Toppings
  • 1/3 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix shredded chicken, egg, cheeses, and seasonings thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky and well combined for a stable crust.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly into a thin, round pizza shape, ensuring consistent thickness for even cooking throughout.
  4. Bake the crust until golden and firm, which helps it hold toppings without becoming soggy.
  5. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings evenly, being careful not to overload the crust.
  6. Bake again until the cheese melts and bubbles, then rest before slicing for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Finely shredding the chicken ensures a smoother texture and prevents the crust from breaking apart during slicing.
  • Draining excess moisture during baking improves crispiness and avoids a soggy base.
  • Letting the pizza rest after baking helps the structure firm up, making it easier to handle and serve.
  • Using broil at the end adds a slightly crispy, golden finish that enhances both texture and flavor.
