A recipe for Chicken Parmesan Pizza designed to maximize protein content while delivering classic flavors. This recipe uses lean chicken and focuses on a satisfying, fitness-friendly meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made high-protein pizza crust (or low-carb crust alternative)
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded lean chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese (part-skim)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your chosen high-protein crust, typically between 400°F and 425°F (200°C to 220°C).
  2. Place the crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  3. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the edge.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Spread this mixture over the sauce.
  5. Distribute the shredded cooked chicken evenly over the ricotta layer.
  6. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and then the Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
  7. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check the crust instructions for exact timing.
  8. Remove from the oven, let it cool for 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an even higher protein crust, look for cauliflower or specific protein-blend crusts available in stores.
  • You can grill or bake the chicken breast ahead of time to speed up assembly.
  • Use a low-sodium marinara sauce to control salt intake.
