Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup cucumber grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
Pizza Crust & Toppings
  • 1 prepared pizza dough or large flatbread
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup cucumber diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet or Pizza Stone
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Knife and Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate while you prepare the tzatziki sauce.
  2. In another bowl, make the tzatziki by mixing the Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, lemon juice, grated garlic, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Par-bake the crust for about 5 minutes until just set.
  5. Spread about half of the tzatziki sauce over the par-baked crust, leaving a small border. Top with shredded mozzarella, cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  6. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown. If desired, broil for 1–2 minutes for extra color.
  7. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining tzatziki sauce. Sprinkle with diced cucumber, crumbled feta, and extra fresh dill. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best tzatziki chicken pizza, make sure to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated cucumber and prebake the crust so it stays crisp under the creamy sauce.
