Instructions:

  1. Cook & Shred Chicken:
    • Cook the chicken in unsalted water until done.
    • Shred the chicken or chop into small pieces for easier blending.
  2. Make the Dough:
    • In a food processor, blend the shredded chicken, olive oil, 1 egg, salt, garlic, and black pepper until a sticky, pasty dough forms.
    • Add a second egg if needed for smoother texture. You may also add a third for a more pliable crust.
    • Mix in shredded mozzarella and oregano.
  3. Preheat & Prepare Pan:
    • Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
    • Line a glass or metal baking dish with parchment paper or grease with olive oil.
  4. Spread & Bake the Dough:
    • Spread the dough thinly and evenly in the dish using a spatula.
    • Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and firm at the edges.
  5. Add Toppings & Finish Baking:

  6. Cool & Serve:

    • Serve warm or at room temperature.
