Notes
Secret Tips for the Best Tzatziki Chicken Pizza
- Use naan or pita for a quick flatbread base: For easy Mediterranean pizza nights, start with store-bought naan or whole wheat pita. It crisps up beautifully and holds the Greek yogurt tzatziki and grilled chicken without getting soggy.
- Marinate the chicken in lemon and herbs: A simple marinade with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano gives the grilled chicken authentic Mediterranean flavor and keeps it juicy when baked on the flatbread.
- Strain your Greek yogurt: To keep your tzatziki thick and creamy, strain your Greek yogurt with a cheesecloth or coffee filter for 15–20 minutes before mixing in cucumber and garlic. It prevents a watery sauce on your pizza.
- Use seedless cucumber and grate it finely: This keeps the tzatziki smooth and spreadable while avoiding excess moisture. Squeeze out any liquid before combining with the yogurt.
- Pre-bake the flatbread before topping: Toast the flatbread in the oven for 4–5 minutes before adding toppings. This gives it a crisp base that holds up well under the grilled chicken and creamy tzatziki sauce.
- Add fresh toppings after baking: Save the diced tomato, red onion, cucumber, and feta crumbles for after the pizza comes out of the oven. It adds freshness and balances the creamy and savory layers of your healthy Mediterranean flatbread.
- Drizzle with extra tzatziki or lemon before serving: A finishing touch of cold tzatziki or a squeeze of lemon juice right before serving brings the whole Greek chicken pizza together with a burst of brightness and tang.
