Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup tomato sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup sliced pepperoni or spicy salami
½ cup sliced hot peppers
½ small red onion thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 –2 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

Preheat: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Mix Crust: Combine 1 lb ground chicken, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until evenly mixed.
Shape: Place the mixture between two sheets of parchment and roll into a thin crust about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to a baking tray, keeping the bottom parchment underneath, and remove the top sheet.
Top: Spread ½ cup tomato sauce in a thin layer. Add ½ cup mozzarella, ½ cup pepperoni or salami, ½ cup sliced hot peppers, ½ small red onion, 1 teaspoon oregano, and ¼ cup Parmesan.
Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken crust is fully cooked and the edges are golden and crisp.
Rest: Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.
Finish: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoon hot honey over the top before serving

Notes

Thicker crust doesn't crisp as well, so it's best if you roll the crust thin.
If you want even more structure, bake the crust alone for 8 to 10 minutes first, then add toppings.
Keep the sauce layer light. Too much will soften the base.
Low-moisture mozzarella works best here.

Ready for some hot honey? You can use store bought or make your own. For homemade hot honey, take ½ cup honey and stir in ½ teaspoon cayenne or 1 tablespoon chili flakes, and throw in a pinch of salt. For best results, let it sit for 15+ minutes before using so the heat infuses throughout!
