Its incredibly satisfying when you need pizza night but want to stay on track with your goals
The crust gets perfectly crisp and holds up beautifully under all your favorite toppings

02 -

Never skip the blotting step after the first bake or you'll end up with a soggy crust
Work quickly when spreading the raw chicken mixture because the warmth from your hands can make it sticky and harder to shape

Use the back of a measuring cup to press the chicken mixture into an even layer
If your crust edges brown too quickly, tent them with foil during the final bake
