Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup toppings of choice (pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the chicken crust evenly and achieving a golden-brown texture.
  2. Mix Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a pliable crust mixture.
  3. Form Crust: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the chicken mixture evenly onto the sheet, shaping it into a round or rectangular pizza crust about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Bake Crust: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. Add Sauce: Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the pizza sauce over its surface.
  6. Add Toppings: Arrange your favorite toppings, such as pepperoni, vegetables, or extra cheese, on top of the sauce.
  7. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings based on your personal preferences or dietary needs.
  • Ensure the chicken is well-drained of any excess moisture before combining to achieve a better crust texture.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Allow the crust to cool slightly before adding toppings if you want a firmer base.
