Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat chicken broth over medium heat and add garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add red pepper flakes and tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes or until sauce thickens. Add basil and salt to pan and stir. Set sauce aside.
- In a large bowl, mix ground chicken and salt.
- Press chicken mix into an eight-inch pizza pan. Cover with plastic wrap and press again or use a rolling pin to make the chicken as flat and even as possible. Remove the plastic wrap.
- Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes, chicken crust will begin to brown.
- Remove crust from oven and spread sauce over the pizza and almost to the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch gap with no sauce.
- Arrange the onion slices and roasted peppers across the top of the pizza. Return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and serve hot.
I have a question about this the meatza recipes can you use ground beef or turkey instead of chicken?
Yes definitely as long as it’s as lean as you can get – for the beef try to find 95 or 97 percent lean if at all possible.
Made this yesterday and it was amazing! What a delight to eat something with so much flavor. I never made tomato sauce that way. It turned out so delicious I may have to start doing it with the diced tomatoes.
One glitch…my “crust” stuck to my pan. Can I use parchment paper to prevent this?
Hey Laura! So sorry it stuck- yes you can absolutely use parchment paper- we sometimes do as well – the paper tends to turn all brown and be flaky but it does work!
