Season the ground chicken, divide into 3 balls (about 52 g each), and roll out into smaller circles between layers of greased parchment paper. Add fillings: sauce, cheese, pepperoni.

Why This Recipe Supports Red Light Therapy
Swapping wheat dough for lean ground chicken turns pizza night into a protein-forward meal that will not spike your blood sugar. Steady glucose means steady energy - the kind of clean fuel that complements, rather than fights, the mitochondrial work red light therapy supports.
