Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 1/4 red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to the center of the lined baking sheet. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken into a thin, even crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the top parchment paper and bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Once the crust is cooked, remove it from the oven and spread the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the sliced bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
