Satisfy your chicken parm cravings with a protein-packed twist. Instead of the usual breading and frying, we created a “chicken pizza” using ground chicken. It’s broiled with sauce and plenty of mozzarella for a tasty revamp that’s also a lot less work.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1
large egg
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
2
cloves garlic, grated
2 oz.
extra-sharp white Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 2/3 cup)
Kosher salt and pepper
1 1/2 lb.
ground chicken (92% lean)
1/2 cup
plus 2 Tbsp jarred arrabbiata sauce
4 oz.
low-moisture part-skim mozzarella, cubed
1/4 cup
grated Pecorino Romano cheese
2 Tbsp.
small basil leaves

Directions

1. Step 1Heat broiler with oven rack 6 inch from heat source. Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2. Step 2In large bowl, beat egg, then stir in Parmesan, garlic, Cheddar, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in chicken until just combined. Spread into 12- by 8-inch oval on prepared baking sheet and broil 6 minutes (chicken will finish cooking later).
3. Step 3Spread chicken with arrabbiata sauce, dot with mozzarella, and continue broiling until chicken is cooked through and mozzarella is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with pecorino and basil.

Recipe Tip: Look for ground chicken with a higher fat content (we used 92% lean). It won’t dry out as easily andwill be more forgivingif you overcook it.
