Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the canned chicken, egg, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even layer in the shape of a pizza crust.
Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until the crust becomes golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly to firm up.
Toss the Caesar salad greens with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
Spread the salad mixture over the crispy chicken crust.
Garnish with extra parmesan, croutons, and a light drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Drain the canned chicken well to help the crust crisp properly.

Press the crust thin for the best texture and crisp edges.

Ground chicken can also be used instead of canned chicken.

Add Italian seasoning or fresh herbs for extra flavor.

For a lower-carb option, skip the croutons.
