And if you haven’t tried ground chicken, let me introduce you to my new favorite low-calorie protein! And if I’m really honest, I like it a whole lot better than ground turkey!!
What do you need to make this Zucchini Pizza Dish recipe?
- ground chicken – You can do either 99% lean or 93% lean. I love both!
- zucchini – I chop mine into about 1 in chunks
- onion – I chop mine pretty chunky in this recipe too…much like it would be on a pizza!
- creole seasoning – You can also use seasoned salt…or salt and pepper
- Italian diced tomatoes – if you just have regular, just sprinkle in a little dried Italian seasoning.
- cottage cheese – I like to blend mine in this recipe
- shredded mozzarella cheese – you can even use some shredded parmesan too
- turkey pepperoni – this adds a little more protein and give it more of that pizza vibe
