Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, eggs, water, olive oil, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Pour the chickpea batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle about 10-12 inches in diameter with a spatula.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread tomato sauce evenly over it.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked chicken, red onion slices, and bell pepper slices.
Top the pizza with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the dried oregano over it.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
