Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 lb ground chicken breast (or ground chicken)
  • 9 oz chopped romaine lettuce (~1 head romaine lettuce)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • Caesar salad dressing
  • Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 13" pizza pan with parchment paper or nonstick sprayed-foil and set aside. Alternatively, you can use a half sheet pan. Place a half sheet pan on the bottom rack of your oven in case of spillovers.
  2. To a large mixing bowl, add the egg, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper then stir with a fork to combine. Add the mozzarella cheese then stir to combine. Crumble the ground chicken over the top then stir with a fork until the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Scoop the chicken mixture onto the prepared pan then use a spatula to spread it into an 11" circle (spread into a rectangle if using a half sheet pan). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Set the crust aside to cool slightly.
  4. While the crust is cooling, add the lettuce to a medium-sized mixing bowl then add the Caesar salad dressing and toss to coat.
  5. Slice the chicken crust into four slices (or more).
  6. Top with the dressed Caesar salad, sliced red onion, and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

- For extra crispiness, ensure the chicken crust is spread evenly and thinly across the pan. The thinner it is, the crispier it will get.
- Don't skip the parchment paper or non-stick foil; it's crucial for preventing the chicken crust from sticking.
- If you prefer a warmer topping, you can briefly warm the dressed salad on the cooked chicken crust for 1-2 minutes in the oven, but be careful not to wilt the lettuce too much.
- Store leftover chicken crust separately from the dressed salad to prevent sogginess. The crust can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes.
