Chicken Crust Pizza

I think I've mentioned my love of pizza a few times before.  I've found the cauli-crust makes me pretty happy but someone mentioned a chicken crust to me and then Innovative Aesthetics had it on their Facebook page and I decided I needed to try it.

Besides one of my goals this week is to try a new recipe.  Goal accomplished!!

What better than pizza!!!

Here is the crust getting ready to be baked.

And here it is fresh from the oven and ready for toppings.

I decide to make it a BBQ chicken pizza since the chicken part was built in to the crust.   I used WF Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce, and a bunch of pre-cut fajita veg (red and green peppers and red onions).  I got it all prepped at the grocery store so that made this even easier to make!

Here it is in all its faux flat bread awesomeness

And I truly mean that.  The taste of course was chicken-y but the look and texture reminded me of a flat bread pizza.  How ground chicken, eggs, and cheese turns into that I do not know.  But I will accept my lack of understanding in exchange for another slice!

Here's the recipe if you want to recreate awesome for yourselves...

Serves 2
INGREDIENTS

• 3 chicken breasts, roughly chopped (about 9-10 ounces)

Toppings

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a food processor or a blender, combine the chicken and spices. Blend until finely minced.
3. Add the cheese, and eggs. Process until well combined into a sticky-gluey batter.
4. Spread the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers or a spatula to smooth the batter into an even layer across the sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
5. Top with your favorite pizza toppings and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
