There is something about pizza flavors that always hit. Melted cheese, warm marinara, and that comfort food feeling somehow just works every time.

The problem is that a lot of comfort foods end up loaded with carbs and leave you hungry again a couple of hours later. I wanted something that still felt like pizza night while adding more protein without making things complicated.

This recipe keeps it simple. Lean ground chicken gets layered with melted provolone and Forté Protein Marinara to create a cheesy, high protein meal that tastes like comfort food while actually keeping you full.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turkey instead of chicken?
Yes. Ground turkey works almost identically and keeps the recipe high in protein.

Can I meal prep this recipe?
Yes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Can I add toppings?
Absolutely. Mushrooms, peppers, red pepper flakes, or turkey pepperoni all work well.
