Equipment
- Baking sheet or pizza stone
- Mixing bowls
- Cutting board & knife
- Spoon or spatula
- Optional: grill pan or outdoor grill (for chicken)
Ingredients
For the Pizza:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or 1 naan/flatbread)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded (grilled or rotisserie)
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or crumbled feta
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced (optional)
- 1 tsp dried oregano or za'atar
- Fresh dill or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional:
- Arugula (for topping after baking)
- Olive oil (drizzle)
- Garlic powder or roasted garlic (for extra punch)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
- Prep the base: Place your pizza crust or flatbread on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil if desired.
- Spread tzatziki sauce over the base, leaving a 1 cm (½ inch) edge.
- Top with chicken, cheese, and red onions. Add a sprinkle of oregano or za’atar.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden, and cheese is melted.
- Cool slightly, then top with fresh cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and arugula.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make it vegetarian: Swap chicken for falafel, marinated chickpeas, or grilled halloumi.
- Low-carb or gluten-free? Use a cauliflower or almond flour crust.
- Want it extra creamy? Add a dollop of tzatziki on top after baking.
- Great for meal prep: Make tzatziki and grilled chicken ahead, assemble quickly when ready.
- Don’t skip the cold toppings—they balance the warm base with a refreshing crunch.
