Chicken Crust Pizza

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, Parmesan and seasonings. Stir until evenly mixed. 3. Spread mixture into a thin circle (10–12 inches). Smooth edges with damp hands or a spatula. 4. Bake 22-25 minutes, until the crust is cooked through and golden at the edges. 5. Carefully blot the crust with a paper towel if you see moisture pooling. Chicken naturally releases juices. 6. Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Spread pizza sauce over the crust, then sprinkle on half of the mozzarella cheese. Add the diced green bell pepper and jalapeños, then finish with the remaining mozzarella. Return to oven 8–10 minutes, until bubbly. You can broil for the last 2 minutes for extra crispiness, if desired. Every oven runs differently, so keep an eye on the edges during the second bake. You want golden and set, not dry. 7. Let the pizza rest 3–5 minutes before slicing so it holds together well. Top with fresh basil and crushed red pepper (if using) enjoy!
