Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until cohesive.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture onto the pizza pan to form a round crust about ¼-inch thick, with slightly thicker edges.
  4. Bake the crust in the oven for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  5. Spread marinara sauce over the baked crust, then layer fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and basil leaves.
  6. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serve.
