Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 3 ounces)
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (about ¾ ounce)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • About ½ cup sauce of choice
  • About 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheese of choice
  • 2 to 4 ounces pepperoni slices, crumbled cooked Italian sausage, or other meat toppings of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Crust Mixture: Combine the egg, ground chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth, forming the base of your Meatza crust.
  3. Shape Crust: Spread the crust mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Form it into a circular or rectangular shape about ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking and a sturdy base.
  4. Bake Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until it is lightly browned and firm to the touch, indicating that it is cooked through.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread your favorite sauce over it. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add your choice of meat toppings evenly across the surface.
  6. Finish Baking: Return the Meatza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the toppings are heated through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, enjoying this protein-packed, carnivore-friendly snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the crust is evenly spread to cook thoroughly.
  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or beef if preferred.
  • Use low-sodium sauce and cheese options to reduce salt content.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite meats or vegetables.
  • Let the Meatza rest for a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.
