Pizza without dough isn’t a dietary punishment — it’s simply a better idea. When the crust is seasoned ground chicken, baked in the oven until firm and slightly crispy on the edges, you really no longer feel like you’re missing anything. This dish has taken over social media for one simple reason: it really works.
Ingredients :
- Ground chicken (93% lean) — This is the base, and quality matters. Good quality ground chicken — not too watery — will give a crust that holds together well rather than a soft patty. Avoid the cheapest in the aisle.
- Grated Parmesan — It plays a dual role: binding the crust and giving it that slightly salty umami taste that compensates for the lack of leavened dough. Grate it fresh if possible; pre-grated is often too dry.
- Whole egg — The glue of the whole thing. Without it, the chicken discs would collapse at the slightest topping. One is enough for four servings.
- Garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs — These dry spices penetrate the chicken mass evenly — something fresh spices wouldn’t do as well in this compact preparation.
