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
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ⅓ cup spicy pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozarella cheese
- ¼ red onion sliced
- ⅔ cup banana peppers
- 3 bacon strips cooked
- Fresh green onions
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 buffalo sauce, pizza sauce, cheese, red onion, banana peppers 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 green onions, blue cheese dressing/ranch, more buffalo sauce, then dig in and enjoy every crispy, cheesy bite!
