Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

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

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, and olive oil until evenly mixed.
  3. Form the mixture into a tight ball, place it on the prepared sheet, and press it into a large, even pizza-shaped crust about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. If you prefer a crisper crust, prebake the crust for 5 minutes until it firms slightly.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and spread 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over it.
  6. Top with sliced mushrooms, chopped bell pepper, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake the assembled pizza for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and toppings are heated through.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Use canned chicken only if specified and drain well.
  • Shredded chicken can be from baked or air-fryer chicken breast.
  • Press the crust firmly so it holds together while baking.
