Instructions
Prep for the Freezer
- Pre heat oven to 400°F

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Create as many pizzas as you desire. Add the mixture in a dollop to the pan, and use a spatula or your hands to flatten it into circles or rectangles - your choice! You want to keep them less than 1/4" thick.
- Bake the crusts for 15 - 20 minutes until the edges have crisped up and the chicken is cooked.
- Once cooked, remove from oven an move the crusts to a cooling rack. Let the crusts cool completely before layering them for the freezer. If you don't, the crusts produce steam in the bag with will create freezer burn, and the crusts will stick together.
- Transfer the cooked crusts into a freezer container of choice, using a small piece of parchment in between each one.

- Label the container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
