Chizza is a high-protein, low-carb pizza alternative. It's 'all chicken, no crust'—pizza toppings on a fried chicken base. The base is made entirely from chicken breast, then topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella. Both kids and adults love it.

Steps

1

Slice the chicken breasts horizontally and butterfly them. Flatten them evenly.
2

Mix all marinade ingredients and soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours (soaking makes it juicier).
3

Coat the marinated chicken in the flour mixture (flour + cornstarch + salt + black pepper).
4

Dip the chicken in beaten eggs. Then coat the egg-washed chicken in crushed cornflakes and set aside for 20 minutes.
5

Deep fry in oil. (Do not place on paper towels, as this makes the fried chicken soggy. Use a wire rack instead.)
6

Spread pizza sauce over the fried chicken, then top with mozzarella cheese, oregano, and chili flakes (add any toppings you like). Bake and broil in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese melts.
7

Serve with French fries and coleslaw.
