Weight Watchers Chicken Crust Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken breast (or use ground turkey)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim or reduced-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pizza sauce (look for a low-sugar or no-sugar-added option)
- Reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your choice of pizza toppings (vegetables, lean meats, etc.)
- Optional: Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey with grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the chicken mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread it out evenly, shaping it into a round crust about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the chicken crust in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it’s cooked through and the edges are golden brown.
- Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add your choice of pizza toppings on top of the cheese.
- Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Slice and serve.
