Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
If using fresh chicken, cook and shred it beforehand. Make sure it’s as dry as possible—moisture can make the crust fall apart. You can press the chicken between paper towels to remove excess liquid.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a sticky dough.
Step 3: Shape the Crust
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared surface and press it into a thin, even circle or rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
Step 4: Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until it’s golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the crust, then layer with cheese, vegetables, meats, or any toppings you love. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice and serve your delicious chicken pizza crust while it’s hot.
Pro Tips
- For extra crispiness: Flip the crust halfway through baking.
- Make it dairy-free: Replace the mozzarella with a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the crust mixture for a bit of heat.
- Storage: Leftover crust can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet for best results.
