Ingredients
-
400 gram(s) Chicken - Extra Lean Ground chicken
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Oregano, ground
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
1 dash Pepper, black
1 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw
1 cup, sliced Peppers, sweet, red, fresh
6 slices or less black forest ham-schneiders-
0.25 cup Classico Sundried Tomato Pesto
1.5 cup Great Value Fancy Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided
Directions
Place raw ground chicken into a bowl along with garlic, Italian spices, cheeses and egg. Mix thoroughly.
Line a pizza pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place raw chicken mixture ball onto paper.
Roll out enough plastic wrap to cover whole pan/sheet and place on top of chicken mixture ball. Press chicken mixture down and out until it fills pan/sheet. Remove plastic wrap. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-25 minutes, or until crust appears golden and to desired crispness. Thicker crusts will be more towards 20-25 minutes and thin crusts will cook in 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it! Be careful not to overcook – especially when making the one sheet thicker crust. It will really dry out the chicken.
Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Use this time to gather and slice your favorite toppings.
Spread sauce and top with mozzarella. Add toppings and then finish off with parmesan. TIP: I know its hard, but try not to overload with toppings as with any pizza, this will cause sogginess in the center. Also, wait until removing from oven at end before adding fresh herbs like basil or arugula.
Bake at 400 degrees for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until cheese topping has slightly browned/desired doneness.
Slice, serve and enjoy this guilt-free, low carb, high protein meal!
