In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are uniformly distributed.
3
Pat the chicken mixture into a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet or a similarly sized round baking dish, building up the edges slightly to act as a 'crust'.
4
Bake the chicken crust in the oven for 15 minutes until it turns golden brown.
5
While the crust is baking, prepare your breading station: distribute the flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs each into separate shallow dishes.
6
Once the crust is done, let it cool slightly. Then dip the top part of chicken crust (the ‘pizza’ part) first in flour, shaking off excess, then in beaten eggs, and finally cover completely with breadcrumbs.
7
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crumb-covered pizza.
8
Place the slices of mozzarella evenly over the tomato sauce, and sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top.
9
Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves before serving.
