Description
A comforting and savory flatbread topped with spiced chicken, tangy feta, juicy tomatoes, and tzatziki — perfect for cozy nights.
Ingredients
- 2 ready-made pizza or flatbread crusts (or homemade dough, rolled thin)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or a blend of mozzarella and provolone
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- Fresh spinach or arugula, for finishing
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce or plain yogurt mixed with cucumber and garlic
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add sliced chicken and toss to coat; let rest 15–30 minutes.
- Prepare dough (if using homemade): Bloom yeast in warm water for 5 minutes. Mix flour and salt, add yeast and oil, and knead until smooth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Divide and roll thin.
- Preheat oven: Heat to 475°F (245°C) and set a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to get hot.
- Cook the chicken: Warm a skillet over medium-high heat and cook marinated chicken slices until just cooked through, about 4–6 minutes. Remove and let rest, then roughly chop.
- Assemble the flatbreads: Place rolled dough on a floured peel or sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, sprinkle mozzarella, then layer chicken, tomatoes, onions, olives, and feta.
- Bake: Slide flatbreads onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake 8–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Finish and serve: Top with a handful of fresh spinach or arugula and a drizzle of tzatziki. Slice and enjoy warm.
Notes
For a quicker assembly, use rotisserie chicken warmed with the marinade spices. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
