Creating the Viral Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, egg, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
3. Form Crust: Spread the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circular pizza base about ½ inch thick.
4. Bake Chicken Crust: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
5. Add Dressing and Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread Caesar dressing evenly over the baked chicken crust.
6. Add Romaine: Top with chopped romaine lettuce, ensuring an even layer across the pizza.
7. Sprinkle Cheese: Scatter grated parmesan cheese over the romaine lettuce.
8. Optional Croutons: If you like, add croutons for extra crunch.
9. Return to Oven: Place the pizza back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm the toppings and melt the cheese slightly.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before slicing.
