Crafting Your Crustless Pizza: Step-by-Step

1. Prepare the Chicken Base:

Clean the chicken breast, removing any skin, bones, and excess fat.
Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the chicken breast.
Place each slice between two sheets of wax paper or in a plastic bag.
Using a flat meat mallet, pound the chicken slices until they are about 1/4-inch thick, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.

2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease your baking pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.

3. Assemble the Flavor Layers:

Arrange the pounded chicken slices in the baking pan, creating a single layer to form the pizza base
Spread the garlic paste evenly over the chicken, rubbing it in for maximum flavor.
Season the chicken with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Sprinkle the chopped onions, parsley, and spring onions over the chicken base.
Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly over the herbs and onions.
Spread the sour cream generously over the vegetables, creating a creamy layer.

4. Add the Cheese Layers:

Place the brie cheese slices over the sour cream.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire dish.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection:

Place the prepared pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown
For extra crispness, broil the pizza for 2-3 minutes at the end of the baking time, watching carefully to prevent burning
