- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (or other toppings of choice)
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Prepare the chicken crust: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the crust: Place the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, press the mixture into a flat, even circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake the crust: Bake the chicken crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it is firm and lightly browned.
- Add the toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives.
- Bake the pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
