Servings 2
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the toppings
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup shredded low-moisture 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 to 2 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, mix the ground chicken, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Place the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a thin, even circle about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to the oven with the bottom parchment underneath and peel off the top layer.
- Spread the tomato sauce in a thin layer over the raw chicken crust. Top with mozzarella, pepperoni or salami, hot peppers, red onion, oregano, and Parmesan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken crust is fully cooked and the edges are crisp.
- Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with hot honey and serve.
Notes
- For extra crisp edges, bake the crust on its own for 10 minutes, blot any moisture, then add toppings and return to the oven.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid excess liquid.
- Warm the hot honey slightly before drizzling so it spreads evenly.
