# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This ensures your Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza | High-Protein & Keto cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 lbs ground chicken, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until just combined.
03 -
Press the chicken mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet into a 10-12 inch round or oval shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, forming the perfect base for your Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza | High-Protein & Keto.
04 -
While the crust bakes, whisk together 1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a small bowl.
05 -
Once the chicken crust is cooked, let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Spread a thin layer of the Zesty Caesar Emulsion over the crust. Top generously with 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped, creating the 'pizza' effect for your Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza | High-Protein & Keto.
06 -
Drizzle remaining Zesty Caesar Emulsion over the lettuce. Garnish with 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese. Slice and serve your delicious Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza | High-Protein & Keto immediately for the best experience.
# Notes:
01 -
For a crispier chicken crust, ensure the ground chicken is patted very dry before mixing. This helps reduce moisture and achieve a better texture.
02 -
Leftover Caesar dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Store the chicken crust and salad components separately to prevent sogginess.
03 -
Feel free to customize your "pizza" with other keto-friendly toppings like cooked bacon bits, cherry tomatoes, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
04 -
Ensure the chicken crust cools slightly before adding the dressing and lettuce. This prevents the lettuce from wilting too quickly and keeps the crust from becoming soggy.
