Ingredients

CHICKEN CRUST

450 g ground chicken
2 large eggs
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

TOPPINGS

⅔ cup sugar-free bbq sauce regular bbq sauce also works
1 cup mozarella cheese
¼ red onion sliced
3 bacon strips cooked
Fresh cilantro

Instructions

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, eggs, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even circle or rectangle.
Pop it in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and firm. Let it rest for 5 minutes to set.
Crank the oven up to 425°F (220°C). Spread on your bbq sauce, cheese, red onion and bacon.
Bake for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Can broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, but keep a close eye on your pizza so it doesn't burn.
Let it cool slightly, top with fresh cilantro, then dig in and enjoy every crispy, cheesy bite!
