Can I use ground chicken instead of breast?

Yes, but the texture will be denser. Blending the breast yourself gives a more tender and even crust.

How long should I bake the crust?

18–20 minutes at 180°C (350°F). The crust should dry slightly and become firm. Don't overbake, or it will turn tough.

Can I add other spices?

Absolutely — oregano, basil, thyme, or garlic powder add an Italian flavor.

How to make the pizza more juicy?

Add cherry tomatoes or olives to the topping — they add moisture and freshness. You can also increase the sauce amount.

SIMPLE PROCESS

Step by step recipe

The secret to this pizza is a perfect chicken crust: blend the breast with egg until smooth, spread it thinly, and bake until lightly crispy. The sauce made with tomato paste, sour cream, and mustard adds a tangy kick, while Parmesan creates an appetizing golden top. Follow these steps for a healthy pizza that tastes amazing.

Step 1

Blend the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into pieces, place in a blender with the egg, salt, and spices. Blend until smooth and paste-like.

Step 2

Shape the Crust

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the chicken mixture into a thin, even layer about ½ inch thick, forming a round or rectangular shape.

Step 3

Bake the Crust

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the crust for 18–20 minutes until it feels slightly dry and firm.

Step 4

Make the Sauce

In a bowl, mix tomato paste, sour cream, mustard, and spices until smooth.

Step 5

Add Toppings

Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and finely chop the spring onions. Remove the crust, spread with sauce, and top with peppers and onions.

Step 6

Final Bake and Serve

Return the pizza to the oven for 15 minutes. Then sprinkle with grated Parmesan and bake for 1 more minute until the cheese melts. Slice and serve hot.

CHEF'S TIP

Choose Fresh Chicken Breast

Chilled chicken breast works best — it blends more easily and gives a tender texture. If using frozen, thaw completely and pat dry before blending.

Spread the Base Thinly

For a crispy crust, spread the chicken mixture about ½ inch thick over parchment. A thicker base will take longer to bake and may stay raw inside.

Sauce is the Flavor Base

The tomato paste, sour cream, and mustard sauce gives the pizza its vibrant taste. Adjust the amount of mustard to your preference — from mild to spicy.

Don't Overbake the Crust

The first bake is 18–20 minutes at 180°C. The crust should dry slightly but not become too hard, or it will crack when slicing.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Add your taste

With Chicken Thighs Replace breast with boneless chicken thighs — they are juicier and richer, though higher in calories. Increase baking time by 5 minutes.
With Other Vegetables Instead of bell peppers, use zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms — slice them thinly so they cook through.
With Mozzarella Replace Parmesan with mozzarella for a stretchier, milder cheese topping.
Mustard-Free Sauce If you don't like mustard, skip it and add more sour cream or a splash of lemon juice for freshness.

HOW TO STORE

How to Store Fitness Pizza

Cool the pizza, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5–7 minutes or in the microwave. Freezing is not recommended — the chicken crust becomes watery.
