Mix the chicken, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and egg in a bowl. Place half of the chicken mixture on the left side of the sheet pan and press into an 8-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture on the right side of the sheet pan.
