Quick Homemade Tzatziki (optional):
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/3 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and fresh dill to taste
Mix everything well and refrigerate for 10+ minutes to let flavors meld.
Instructions:
Prep the Flatbread Base:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place naan/flatbreads on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil.
Warm the Crust :
Bake for 5–7 minutes or until slightly golden and crisp around the edges. Remove and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Pizza:
Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each flatbread. Top with shredded chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta.
Optional Warm Bake:
If you like your toppings warm and cheese slightly melted, return to the oven for 3–4 more minutes. Otherwise, serve it fresh and cool!
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh herbs and optional greens like arugula. Slice and enjoy!
Tips:
Use rotisserie chicken for a fast option.
Swap feta for goat cheese or shredded mozzarella if you prefer a meltier texture.
Add a drizzle of olive oil or a splash of lemon juice on top before serving for extra zing.
