Ingredients

 

One pound ground (raw) chicken breast

½ cup grated Parmesan

1 cup freshly shredded part skim mozzarella (4 oz)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Dried oregano

½ cup prepared pasta sauce or prepared pizza sauce

Crushed red pepper flakes

4 or 5 sliced basil leaves

Toppings - we use turkey pepperoni, mushrooms whatever you like!

 

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or foil sprayed with non stick vegetable cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl combine the ground chicken with ¼ cup parmesan, ¼ cup mozzarella, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon oregano.
3. Mound the chicken mixture onto the parchment and pat into flat rectangle or disc. Cover with plastic wrap and evenly press or roll the chicken into a 7x10" rectangle or round. I use a rolling pin to get it very thin. Remove the plastic wrap and roast until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
4. Smear crust with sauce, scatter with ¼ cup Parmesan, ¾ cup mozzarella, layer with toppings and season with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and ¼ teaspoon oregano.
5. Pop back into hot oven and cook until melted and bubbly 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter with chopped basil.
