  1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, eggs, cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
    1. Evenly divide the chicken mixture into 4 pieces, about 150 g each. Flatten into a thin and wide circle on your cookie sheets, about 1/8" thick and 8" diameter.
    1. Bake the crust at 400F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway, or until lightly browned and cooked through, and the chicken reaches 165F.
    1. Top your cooked crust with sauce (2 tbsp, 32 g per pizza) and cheese (1/2 oz, 14 g per pizza).
    1. Increase your oven temperature to 450F. Return the pizza to the oven, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce is hot and the cheese is browned.
    1. Let the pizzas cool for 5 minutes before cutting into 4 slices each.
    1. To reheat, air fry at 400F for 3-5 minutes, or until warm and crispy.
    Notes
    1. Any other ground meat will work too besides chicken, such as ground turkey or ground beef.
    2. Low moisture part skim mozzarella can also be used in place of fat free.
