👨🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan with heatproof parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
3️⃣ Spread the mixture thinly and evenly on the pan to a 12-inch circle, about ¼-inch thick.
Tip: Place parchment paper on top and flatten with a rolling pin. Remove the top parchment when done.
4️⃣ Bake the crust until firm and the edges are golden brown, about 30 minutes. It should appear visibly dry. If there’s still moisture on top, keep baking it.
5️⃣ Remove the crust from the oven (keep the oven on) and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
6️⃣ Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the baked crust. Add the mozzarella, pepperoni, and olives (or your favorite toppings).
7️⃣ Return the pizza to the oven for 5–7 minutes to melt the cheese.
8️⃣ Allow the pizza to rest for a few minutes, then cut into six slices and serve.
