How to make Chicken Parmesan Pizza with a Ground Chicken Crust

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center. Mix the chicken, garlic, Italian seasoning and 1/2 cup Parmesan with salt and pepper.

  2. Spray a parchment-lined pan and shape the mixture into a round about 1/2 inch thick. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

  3. Spread the marinara over the crust and top with mozzarella. Transfer to a broiler-safe pan without parchment and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts.
