Enjoy this chicken parm pizza that gives you the taste and feel of pizza while being high in protein and very low in carbs.
Have you ever heard of a "Meatzza?" It's a meat-crust pizza with no flour and no dough, resulting in extra protein and hardly any carbs.

How to Make Chicken Parm Pizza
Step 1. Make the crust by combining ground chicken, an egg, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
Step 2. Place the chicken mixture onto a parchment lined baking tray that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
Step 3. Spray another sheet of parchment to cover the tray and roll it out thinly. I used the jar of marinara sauce because my rolling pin is too large to fit inside my baking pan.
Step 4. Remove the top sheet of parchment.
Step 5. Sprinkle a little panko breadcrumbs and some parmesan cheese all over the crust.
Step 6. Bake the crust in a hot oven (425°) until golden.
Step 7. Remove the pan from the oven and top it with marinara sauce and more shredded cheese.
Step 8. Set the pizza under the broiler for a minute or two until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Cut it into eight slices and enjoy.
This was maybe even better than I expected. I would definitely make it again. Next time, I'd like to add more toppings, such as mushrooms or fresh basil.
