Servings: persons

2 cups water
1 cup parboiled long grain rice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
cooking spray
1 tablespoon cornmeal, divided
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro (optional)
2 cups prepared chili
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or more if desired
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more if desired
1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Heat water and rice in a saucepan; boil for 1 minute and remove from heat. Cover; let stand until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Spoon warm rice into a bowl; stir in Parmesan cheese. Allow mixture to cool.
3
Coat a pizza pan with cooking spray. Dust with 1 1/2 teaspoon cornmeal.
4
Mix beaten egg, sesame seeds, and cilantro into rice mixture. Mound in the center of the prepared pizza pan. Shape into a deep-dish crust, approximately 1/4-inch deep with slightly raised edges. Dust edges with remaining cornmeal.
5
Bake on the upper rack of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Slide crust carefully from the pan directly onto the oven rack using a pizza paddle; bake until just starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes more. Use the paddle to remove crust from the oven and return it to the pan.
6
Top pizza with chili, Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and panko. Spray with cooking spray.
7
Return pizza to the hot oven; bake until cheese bubbles, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand for 5 minutes.
