  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Dried oregano (I use Italian Seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup pasta sauce
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 to 5 basil leaves (rolled and sliced)
  • Toppings: - I use turkey pepperoni, black olives, sliced tomatoes, onions, green peppers or any of your favorites, just don't go crazy, to keep it low fat
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

  • Step 2: Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or foil, sprayed with non-stick vegetable cooking spray.

  • Step 3: In a medium bowl combine the ground chicken with 1/4 cup Parmesan, 1/4 cup Mozzarella, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon oregano.

  • Step 4: Mound the chicken mixture onto the parchment, and pat into flat rectangle or disc.

  • Step 5: Cover with plastic wrap, and evenly press or roll the chicken into a 7x10" rectangle or round. I use a rolling pin!

  • Step 6: Remove the plastic wrap, and roast until golden, 12-15 minutes, draining any liquid that may be in the pan at 12 minutes, then putting it back in if it's not brown enough.

  • Step 7: Smear crust with sauce, scatter with 1/4 cup Parmesan, 3/4 cup Mozzarella, layer with toppings, and season with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon oregano.

  • Step 8: Pop back into hot oven, and cook until melted and bubbly, 6-10 minutes.

  • Step 9: Remove from oven, and sprinkle with chopped basil.
