Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Assembly

  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease four 2-cup ramekins and set them aside to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Cook the Meat Mixture: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion, cooking until fragrant and softened. Add ground chicken along with salt and pepper, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink. Stir in oregano and dried rosemary to season. Remove the pan from heat.
  3. Assemble the Pizza Bowls: Evenly distribute the cooked meat mixture among the four prepared ramekins. Spoon 1/4 cup of pizza sauce over each, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese, add sliced mushrooms, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Finish each bowl by placing pepperoni slices on top.
  4. Bake: Place the filled ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and golden around the edges.
  5. Serve: Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving to allow flavors to settle and to avoid burning.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or beef based on preference.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni and use a plant-based meat substitute or additional vegetables.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and ramekin size to ensure cheese is melted but not burnt.
  • Feel free to add extra herbs like basil or red pepper flakes for added flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
