Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F and place a rack in the center position.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well combined, then sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the top and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated into a thick, uniform batter.
3. 3Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread the cottage cheese mixture into a round crust shape approximately 8 inches across, then bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the top is dry to the touch.
4. 4Remove the crust from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
5. 5Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then scatter the cooked chicken breast and cherry tomatoes across the top.
6. 6Return the pizza to the oven at 400°F and bake for 5–8 minutes until the mozzarella is fully melted and the edges are lightly browned.
7. 7Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, let cool for 2–3 minutes, then slice and serve.
