Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 4 small mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 small bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your crust will get nice and crispy.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Mixture - In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Form the Crust - Spread the chicken mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a round or rectangular pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Step 4: Bake the Crust - Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Add Toppings - Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, followed by the sliced mushrooms and chopped bell pepper. Finish off with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
  6. Step 6: Final Bake - Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy it as is!

Notes

  • Prep the chicken mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge for easy assembly.
  • For a crispy crust, ensure the mixture is well combined before spreading.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
