A close-up view of several square slices of pepperoni pizza laid on crinkled white parchment paper over a white marbled surface. Each slice has three layers: a light golden thin crust base with a slightly crispy edge, a middle layer of melted, creamy white mozzarella cheese with some browning and bubbling, and a top layer of reddish-brown pepperoni slices glistening with oils and slightly curled edges, sprinkled with black pepper and crushed red chili flakes. The cheese shows a stretch and slight melting around the pepperoni, adding texture and richness to the overall look. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

450 g ground chicken
2 large eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
20 pepperoni slices

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even circle or rectangle.
Step 4: Bake for 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and firm. Let it rest for 5 minutes to set.
Step 5: Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
Step 6: Bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy every crispy, cheesy bite!

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, mix in chopped fresh herbs like basil or oregano into the chicken mixture before baking.
Try different toppings such as mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers to suit your taste.
If you prefer a thinner crust, press the chicken mixture more thinly before baking, but be careful not to make it too thin to avoid breaking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve
