Preparation
1.
Note: Chicken breast and all meat toppings are being considered pre-cooked. Fresh mozzarella should be placed in a towel to remove moisture for at least 30 minutes prior to starting recipe.
Preheat oven to 425F Convection oven works best.2.
Apply parchment paper to metal pizza pan. Making sure to cover slightly beyond the edges of the pan. Note: a stone pan does NOT work well with this type of crust.3.
Using food processor or blender, chop chicken breast to extremely fine consistency.4.
In large bowl combine ground chicken, eggs, all dry spices, and parmesan cheese.5.
Mix until ingredients are thoroughly combined and resemble dough. If too dry add more egg white.6.
Once oven is pre-heated. Spread mixture onto parchment paper. Use another piece of parchment paper on top of mixture to spread, thin, and even out crust. Crust should nearly fill a 14" pizza pan.7.
Remove top layer of parchment paper and place in oven to pre-cook crust.8.
Let cook for 10-14 minutes, depending on oven. Crust should become firm with a slight golden brown on top.9.
Remove from oven, evenly apply sauce, mozzarella cheese and the toppings of your choice.10.
Put pizza back in the oven. Cook for another 10-14 minutes. Mozzarella cheese should be well melted. Over cooking is difficult since it removes more moisture and allows the crust to become more firm.11.
Serve hot.
Feel free to add fresh basil or favorite greens to the top.
