04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano

10 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (approximately 2.6 oz)
11 - 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced (approximately 2.1 oz)
12 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (approximately 2.8 oz)
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped, optional

→ Tzatziki Drizzle

15 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (approximately 4.2 oz)
16 - 1/4 cup cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry (approximately 1.2 oz)
17 - 1 small clove garlic, minced
18 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
19 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
20 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add diced chicken breasts and toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
03 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer marinated chicken pieces to the hot skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - Arrange naan breads on a baking sheet. Top each naan evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken pieces, crumbled feta cheese, sliced Kalamata olives, red onion slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
05 - Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until mozzarella is melted and naan bread is crisp.
06 - While pizzas bake, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Stir well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
07 - Remove pizzas from oven. Drizzle generously with prepared tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours planning, but it comes together in under 40 minutes with minimal fuss.
  • The combination of tangy lemon chicken, cool tzatziki, and salty feta hits every flavor note at once, so one bite feels complete.
  • Naan bread crisps up beautifully in the oven, giving you that satisfying crunch without needing a traditional pizza stone.
02 -
  • Don't skip squeezing the moisture from your grated cucumber—I learned this the hard way when my tzatziki turned into a puddle that slid right off the pizza.
  • Searing the chicken first instead of baking it raw on the pizza guarantees it's cooked through and develops flavor, plus it only adds five minutes to your total time.
03 -
  • Make your tzatziki while the pizzas are baking so it's cold and refreshing against the hot cheese when you serve—the contrast is part of the whole experience.
  • If you're cooking for vegetarians, marinate cubed zucchini or eggplant the same way as the chicken and sear it until golden, and nobody will notice the chicken is missing.
