Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients in one place. Pre-cook the chicken and shred it using a fork or a food processor.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well incorporated and sticky.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Baking the Crust
- Transfer the chicken mixture onto the baking sheet and press it out evenly to form a crust shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Finishing Touches
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust.
- Add your choice of toppings and return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving hot.
Notes
Store leftover pizza in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze wrapped tightly in aluminum foil for up to 2 months.
