Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken lean
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar or sugar-free pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni sliced
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch or 9-inch oven-safe pie dish with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Season the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  • Form the Crust: Press the seasoned ground chicken mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pie dish to create an even "crust" layer.
  • Par-Bake the Chicken: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and the edges begin to turn lightly golden.
  • Add the Toppings: Remove the dish from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the hot chicken base. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Top evenly with the sliced pepperoni, black olives, diced green bell pepper, and red onion.
  • Final Bake: Return the assembled pizza bowl to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. The dish is ready when the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  • Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pizza bowl cool and set for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegetable Moisture: If you prefer less liquid in your final bowl, lightly sauté the bell peppers and onions in a skillet for 3 minutes before adding them to the top of your pizza bowl.
  • Broiling Tip: For a blistered, restaurant-style cheese top, turn your oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching very closely so the cheese does not burn.
