Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken The star of your crust, providing a protein-rich base that's low in carbs.
  • 1 large Egg A crucial binder; can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Adds a savory depth; swap with nutritional yeast for dairy-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder For a boost of flavor; fresh minced garlic can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Brings classic pizza flavor; can be replaced with oregano and basil.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Enhances taste; choose sea salt or kosher salt.
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked pepper is recommended.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Pizza Sauce Choose low-sugar or homemade versions for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Melts perfectly; provolone is a great substitute.
