See notes for pan size. Optional: Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper if you are worried about the crust sticking to the pan.
-
Pre-bake the chicken crust. Bake in a 450°F [230°C] for 10-12 minutes until the crust is firm and beginning to brown. If the crust feels too soft continue to bake.

Add grated mozzarella cheese and pepperoni or your preferred pizza toppings.4 tablespoons cream cheese,2 oz Pepperoni,⅓ cup mozzarella cheese
