High-Protein Cheesy Chicken Crust Pizza

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Add the chicken, garlic, Italian seasoning, and parmesan to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray. Add the chicken mixture to the center and shape into a ball. Then, press down and form the chicken into a large round crust. About ¼-inch thick for a thinner and larger crust or ½-inch for a slightly thicker and smaller crust.
4. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown and cooked through.
5. Spread a thin layer of marinara/pizza sauce on the chicken. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top of the sauce, optional. Then, add the shredded cheese.
6. Bake for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Alternately, you can use the broiler to melt the cheese.
7. Garnish with basil leaves, slice, and enjoy!
