CHICKEN PROTEIN PIZZA
Loaded chicken protein pizza packs an impressive 52 grams of muscle-repairing protein per serving, making it the perfect choice for fueling your post-workout recovery or satisfying your high-protein cravings. The crispy, golden crust provides a satisfying crunch, while the tender, flavorful chicken topping offers a juicy bite with every slice. Melted cheese and zesty toppings create a rich, savory taste that balances indulgence with nutrition, ensuring you get both flavor and macros in every bite. With its balanced macros—high in protein and moderate in carbs—it’s ideal for muscle building, weight management, or simply maintaining a nutrient-dense diet. This pizza is versatile enough for meal prep, allowing you to make ahead and reheat for quick, delicious meals throughout the week. For those with dietary restrictions, it can be easily adapted—gluten-free crust options or vegan cheese and plant-based proteins work well to suit various needs.

Enjoy this hearty, satisfying pizza as a rewarding post-workout meal or a nutritious weekend treat that keeps you energized and on track with your fitness goals.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Slice is too dry
Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.
Not rising properly
Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.
Gummy texture in center
This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Too dense
Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
