Let's be honest.

After a long day, the last thing you want is a complicated meal.

But you also don't want to eat sad diet food while your family eats pizza.

Enter: Chicken Crust Pizza.

This is the real deal. Crispy edges, melty mozzarella, loaded with veggies — and it clocks in at 287 calories and 34g of protein per mini pizza.

What You Need

For the crust (makes 4 personal pizzas):

• 1 lb ground 93% chicken

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• 1 tsp kosher salt
  

Toppings:

• ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara

• ¾ cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella

• ½ cup sliced bell pepper

• ½ cup broccoli crowns

• ¼ cup sliced red onion

How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment and spray with cooking oil.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, parmesan, egg, and all the seasonings. Divide into 4 equal balls — use wet hands so it doesn't stick.

3. Flatten each ball into a circle about 7 inches wide and ¼ inch thin.

4. Bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden.

5. Flip each crust and top with sauce, mozzarella, and your veggies (about 2 tablespoons of sauce and 3 tablespoons of cheese per pizza).

6. Bake another 10 minutes until everything is melty and cooked through.
   

That's it. Dinner is done.

A Few Tips

Use quality ground chicken. The higher the quality, the less watery the crust. Look for lean ground chicken — the lower the fat content, the better your crust will hold together. Whole Foods "Better Ground Chicken" works great if it's available near you.

Wet hands are your friend. The chicken mixture will want to stick. Keep a small bowl of water nearby while you're shaping the crusts.

Switch up the toppings. Mushrooms, spinach, olives, jalapeños — whatever you've got. The base recipe is your canvas.

The Bottom Line

You don't have to choose between enjoying food and hitting your nutrition goals. That's the whole point of the Intentional Nutrition pillar — building a way of eating that works for your real life, not some idealized version of it.

This pizza is proof that high-protein eating can be delicious, fast, and genuinely satisfying.
