Calories: 100kcal
Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 Rubber Spatula
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 egg
- ½ cup non fat cottage cheese
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. fresh garlic or 1 diced garlic clove
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of the ingredients.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Using a rubber spatula, spread the meat mixture in a round or rectangle pizza crust shape, about ¼-1/2 inch thickness. Try to keep it as even as possible.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and fully cooked.
- Remove the crust and drain any excess liquid, top with your favorite toppings, and place back in the oven until everything is warm and the cheese (if using) is melted.
- When it's finished, allow it to set for 3-5 minute, then slice it into pieces.
Notes
- Season the crust itself. Don't rely on toppings alone for flavor. In addition to the garlic, try adding Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, or onion powder directly into the chicken mixture.
- Go easy on the sauce. Too much sauce introduces moisture that can soften the crust. A thin to medium, even layer is all you need.
- Let it rest before slicing. Give the pizza 3–5 minutes to rest after coming out of the oven. This helps it firm up and makes slicing much cleaner.
