Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg

- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings (optional):
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free for keto)

- Pepperoni slices, fresh basil, olives, or any toppings of your choice
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Chicken Crust: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Form the Crust: Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet and flatten it into a round crust, about 1/4-inch thick. You can use your hands or a spatula to shape the crust evenly.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the chicken crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is firm and golden around the edges.

- Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
