Mediterranean Tzatziki Chicken Pizza recipe

 

Mediterranean Flatbread Pizza with Tzatziki Sauce

Ingredients:

For the Base:

2 pieces of naan bread (or any flatbread)

Olive oil for brushing

For the Tzatziki Sauce (or use store-bought):

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 small cucumber, grated and squeezed dry

1–2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings:

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup cooked chicken breast or paneer, cubed

1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Optional: Feta cheese, olives, chili flakes

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Flatbread:

Place naan bread on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil. Bake for 4–5 minutes to crisp it up slightly before adding toppings.

3. Make Tzatziki Sauce:

In a bowl, combine:

Greek yogurt

Grated cucumber

Garlic

Dill

Lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Mix well. Adjust flavors to taste.

4. Assemble Flatbreads:

Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over the warmed naan. Top with:

Cubed chicken or paneer

Cherry tomatoes

Cucumber slices

Red onion

Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro. Add feta and olives if desired.

5. Bake Again (Optional):

If you prefer the toppings warmed slightly, bake the assembled flatbreads for 5–7 more minutes.

6. Serve:

Remove from oven, slice, and enjoy immediately. Drizzle a bit more tzatziki or olive oil before serving if desired.

Tips:

For a vegetarian version, stick to paneer or chickpeas.

Use a grill pan for a more charred flavor in the flatbread.

Fresh herbs like mint or basil can elevate the freshness.
