Bariatric Pizza. You've gotta taste it!
Pizza pie tops a flavorful crust of ground seasoned chicken with your favorite pizza toppings! It's simple, it's delish, it's exciting.
Ingredients
- One pound ground (raw) chicken breast - or 3 small boneless breasts, pulsed in food processor
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 cup freshly shredded part skim mozzarella - one cup shredded cheese is 4 ounces by weight
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Dried oregano
- ½ cup prepared pasta sauce
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 or 5 basil leaves, rolled and sliced
- Toppings - lets not go crazy with fat - I used Molinari very lean pepperoni in paper thin slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or foil sprayed with non stick vegetable cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl combine the ground chicken with ¼ cup parmesan, ¼ cup mozzarella, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon oregano.
- Mound the chicken mixture onto the parchment and pat into flat rectangle or disc. Cover with plastic wrap and evenly press or roll the chicken into a 7x10" rectangle or round. I use a rolling pin to get it very thin. Remove the plastic wrap and roast until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Smear crust with sauce, scatter with ¼ cup Parmesan, ¾ cup mozzarella, layer with toppings and season with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and ¼ teaspoon oregano.
- Pop back into hot oven and cook until melted and bubbly 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter with chopped basil.
