Ingredients
- 185 grams Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 30 grams Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 120 milliliters Tomato sauce (unsweetened or low-sodium)
- 100 grams Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.5 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.25 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 30 grams Olives, sliced

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet or pizza tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, eggs, shredded Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until fully combined into a cohesive mixture.
Step 3
Transfer the tuna mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press it down into a circular, flat pizza base about 1 cm thick (ensure it’s evenly spread for uniform cooking).
Step 4
Bake the tuna crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly browned.
Step 5
Remove the crust from the oven and carefully spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on the shredded chicken, bell pepper, red onion, and olives.
Step 7
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then slice and serve.
