High-protein everything is all the rage right now, and I’m not immune to the craze. Don’t get me wrong, I love a cottage cheese moment, but I’m also all about finding other creative ways to add protein to my favorite meals. My new favorite, and maybe most unhinged recipe? This high-protein chicken Parm pizza, made with a baked ground chicken crust. Okay, I know what you might be thinking, but don’t run away yet! After baking, the crust becomes golden and filled with flavor, perfect for topping with marinara and melty mozzarella.
You can use any store-bought marinara you like, but I highly recommend checking out our jarred marinara taste test for the best brands. Tip: Not getting enough color on your chicken “crust”? Try broiling for 3 to 5 minutes to get it extra golden.

Step 4Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce, leaving a small border around the circumference of the pizza. Top with mozzarella and broil until cheese is melty, 3 to 4 minutes.
