Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly greasing the parchment.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. If using canned chicken, ensure it’s thoroughly drained and shredded before mixing.
Step 3: Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Using wet hands or a spatula, press the mixture evenly into a 12-14 inch circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure the edges are slightly raised to form a ‘crust’ rim.
Step 4: Bake the chicken crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it’s firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and carefully drain any excess liquid that may have accumulated on the parchment paper. This step is crucial for a crispy chicken crust pizza recipe.
Step 5: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked chicken crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then arrange your desired toppings.
Step 6: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust edges are golden brown. If you like extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Step 7: Remove the chicken crust pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the crust to set and prevents it from falling apart.
