Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flatbreads or naan
  • 2 cups cooked chicken or lamb, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.
  2. Make the tzatziki: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, mint (if using), lemon juice, and salt. Stir well and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Prep toppings: Shred or slice chicken, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, pit and halve olives, crumble feta, and grate mozzarella.
  4. Remove hot baking sheet from oven. Place flatbreads on the sheet and brush edges lightly with olive oil.
  5. Spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki on each flatbread in a thin, even layer, leaving a small border.
  6. Divide chicken evenly among flatbreads. Sprinkle with mozzarella, then scatter feta, tomatoes, red onion, and olives. Finish with dried oregano and black pepper.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, edges are golden, and flatbread is crispy.
  8. Let pizzas rest for 2 minutes, then drizzle generously with remaining tzatziki. Optionally, add fresh dill or lemon juice.
  9. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Squeeze cucumber well to prevent watery tzatziki. Let tzatziki rest for flavors to meld. Preheat baking sheet for crispy crust. Use room-temperature ingredients for even cooking. Double the tzatziki for extra.
