Ingredients

Chicken Crust

  • 900 g (about 2 lb) ground chicken
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2/3 cup spicy pizza sauce
  • 2 cups vegan mozzarella
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 1/3 cups banana peppers, drained
  • Fresh green onions, sliced, for topping

Equipment

  • Large cookie sheet or rimmed baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Pizza cutter

Instructions

Make the Chicken Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large cookie sheet or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, Parmesan, 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  3. Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared pan and press it into a thin, even rectangle of consistent thickness.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden, cooked through, and firm enough to hold the toppings.
  5. Remove from the oven and let the crust rest for 5 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F.

Top and Finish

  1. Spread the buffalo sauce evenly over the chicken crust, followed by the spicy pizza sauce.
  2. Top with 2 cups vegan mozzarella, sliced red onion, red bell pepper, and banana peppers.
  3. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12 minutes at 425°F, until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted.
  4. Remove from the oven and top with sliced fresh green onions.
  5. Let the pizza sit for about 1 minute so the toppings can set, then use a pizza cutter to cut it into 12 slices.

Notes

  • Press the chicken mixture into an even layer so the crust cooks uniformly and slices cleanly.
  • Draining the banana peppers well helps keep excess moisture off the finished pizza.
  • For a firmer crust, let the baked chicken crust rest the full 5 minutes before adding the sauces and toppings.
  • Nutrition is estimated per slice based on 12 equal slices. Ground chicken leanness and the brands of buffalo sauce, pizza sauce, Parmesan, and vegan mozzarella can significantly change calories, fat, carbohydrates, and especially sodium.
