Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly integrated.
  3. Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a 12-inch circle, ensuring even thickness and thicker edges.
  4. Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm.
  5. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the baked crust, add mozzarella cheese, and arrange pepperoni slices evenly.
  6. Return to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
