Can I use canned chicken instead of ground chicken?

Yes! Canned chicken works great for this recipe—just make sure to drain it well and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the crust hold together and crisp up better.

How do I keep the chicken crust from getting soggy?

The key is to press the crust thin , pre-bake it until the edges are golden, and avoid adding too much sauce. Letting the crust cook fully before adding toppings makes a big difference.

Can I make this chicken crust pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can pre-bake the crust ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, add your toppings and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
