Instructions

Step 1: Marinate

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add diced chicken, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2: Prep

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 3: Cook Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated chicken pieces for 4–5 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble

Lay naan breads on a baking sheet. Top each with mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken, feta, olives, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the naan is crisp.

Step 6: Prepare Tzatziki

Meanwhile, mix all tzatziki drizzle ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7: Finish

Remove pizzas from the oven. Drizzle generously with tzatziki and sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley if desired.

Step 8: Serve

Slice and serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure your tzatziki is creamy and not watery, make sure to squeeze the grated cucumber as dry as possible using a clean kitchen towel. Sear the chicken over high heat to get a nice golden crust while keeping the meat tender.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with grilled zucchini or eggplant. You can also customize your pizza by adding extra vegetables such as fresh spinach or marinated artichoke hearts.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these pizzas alongside a crisp Greek white wine like Assyrtiko for a complete Mediterranean experience. For an extra pop of freshness, add more chopped dill or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.

Questions About This Recipe

→ Can I make this ahead of time?

Marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. Prepare the tzatziki drizzle ahead and refrigerate. Assemble and bake just before serving for the crispiest naan texture.

→ What can I use instead of naan bread?

Pita bread, flatbread, or even store-bought pizza dough work well. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flatbread base.

→ Is this dish spicy?

No, this Mediterranean flatbread is not spicy. The flavors focus on bright citrus, herbs, and salty cheeses rather than heat.

→ Can I grill instead of bake?

Yes! Grill the naan directly on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side after topping with ingredients. The tzatziki adds a cool element after grilling.

→ How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness. The tzatziki should be stored separately.

→ Can I make this vegetarian?

Substitute the chicken with grilled zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers. The feta, olives, and tzatziki provide plenty of protein and flavor.
