O Que Você Precisa Saber

- O peito de frango moído misturado ao queijo parmesão e ovo cria uma crosta proteica estruturada e firme. - O pré-assamento da crosta a 200°C por 20 a 25 minutos elimina umidade e firma a base para receber o recheio. - Escorrer qualquer líquido acumulado na superfície após a primeira etapa evita que a pizza fique amolecida.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 500 grams Ground chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup Finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 unit Large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cebola em pó
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dry oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Good quality tomato sauce
  • 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese (partially skimmed)
  • 1 cup Vegetables to taste
  • a gosto leaves Fresh basil

Instructions

Instructions

1

Preaqueça o forno a 200°C (400°F). Line a round pizza pan (about 30 cm in diameter) with parchment paper, greasing it lightly to prevent sticking. This ensures the crust does not stick and is easy to handle later.

2

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are completely incorporated. The short answer is: do not hesitate to use your hands for a homogeneous mixture.

3

Transfira a mistura de frango para o centro da assadeira preparada. Com as mãos úmidas ou uma espátula, espalhe a massa uniformemente, formando um círculo com cerca de 0,5 cm de espessura. Pressione firmemente para criar uma borda ligeiramente elevada, imitando uma crosta de pizza tradicional.

4

Take the chicken crust to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and firm. This step is crucial to ensure that the crust cooks completely and acquires a crunchy and resistant texture. The professional technique is to pre-bake the crust.

5

Remove the crust from the oven and drain any excess liquid that may have accumulated on the surface. This is important to prevent the pizza from getting soggy and to maintain the integrity of the crust. The most common mistake is skipping this step.

6

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border. Then, distribute the grated mozzarella cheese and the chosen vegetables. Be creative with your favorite toppings; mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions are excellent options.

7

Return the pizza to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender. Watch carefully to prevent the crust from burning. Serve immediately, decorated with fresh basil leaves.

8

Cut the pizza into slices and enjoy. The most important tip is to serve hot to appreciate the crispy texture of the crust and the perfectly melted cheese. Bom apetite!

Chef Tips

- Spread the chicken mixture on parchment paper greased with olive oil using hands moistened with water. - Leave the dough with a uniform thickness of about 0.5 cm so that it bakes evenly without drying the edges. - Use full-bodied and thick tomato sauce so as not to excessively moisten the pre-roasted chicken crust.

Variations

- Cover with thin slices of calabresa sausage and sliced red onion for a protein-rich calabresa version. - Add slices of fresh sautéed mushrooms and chopped black olives over the mozzarella. - Add yellow bell pepper slivers and fresh arugula leaves placed right out of the oven.

Substitutions

- Ground chicken breast can be replaced by ground turkey breast while maintaining the same seasonings. - Finely grated parmesan cheese can be swapped for pecorino cheese or cured meia cura cheese. - The mozzarella cheese for the topping can be replaced by grated prato cheese or standard Minas cheese.

How to Store

Keep the slices in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat while maintaining the crispy base, use the electric oven at 180°C for 8 minutes or a skillet with a lid.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze only the pre-baked and cold chicken crust, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 60 days. To finish, add sauce and cheese and bake at 200°C straight from the freezer for 15 minutes.

What to Serve With

Pairs perfectly with caprese salad of fresh tomatoes, iceberg lettuce leaves with olive oil, or iced tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the chicken crust have the consistency of pizza dough or hamburger?

When rolled thin to 0.5 cm and well baked until golden, the chicken mixture with parmesan and egg becomes firm, dry, and compact, allowing you to hold the slices with your hand like pizza.

Can I grind raw chicken breast at home in the food processor?

Yes, cut the breast into cubes and pulse in the food processor until it reaches a uniform ground meat consistency, being careful not to turn it into a liquid paste.

How to prevent the base from sticking to the parchment paper?

Brush a thin layer of olive oil on the parchment paper before spreading the chicken dough and remove the paper only after the crust is fully baked and warm.

Is the egg essential in the crust dough?

Yes, the egg protein coagulates during baking and acts together with the melted parmesan cheese to bind the fibers of the ground chicken without breaking.
