Recipe Ingredients
All you need are a few simple ingredients to make these crispy Greek Chicken Flatbreads.
Greek Marinated Chicken: The chicken breast is marinated in a delicious Greek marinade filled with lemon, garlic, and herbs and then grilled.
Tip: For a short-cut, marinade shredded rotisserie chicken in the marinade for 15 minutes. Drain off the excess marinade before adding the chicken to the flatbread.
Flatbread: Use store-bought flatbread or Make Your Own Flatbread. I even have a recipe for Sourdough Flatbread as well.
Hummus: Smooth creamy hummus is the perfect partner for all of the other tart Greek flavors.
Marinated Artichoke Hearts and Kalamata Olives: Artichokes and black olives have amazing briny flavors.
Cherry Tomatoes: Juicy tomatoes add a nice brightness to the flatbread pizza.
Mozzarella and Feta Cheese: Creamy mozzarella is a great contrast to salty feta cheese.
Tip: The feta cheese will not melt when you cook the pizza. Rely on the visual cues from the mozzarella cheese to know when the pizza is done.
Homemade Tzatziki: Creamy homemade tzatziki is the perfect final topping.
Substitutions and Variations
Customize these chicken hummus flatbreads by varying the toppings. Here are a few suggestions:
- fresh or roasted red peppers
- sun-dried tomatoes
- sliced zucchini
- pepperoncini
- pickled red onion
- caramelized onion
- fresh spinach
Tip: Be careful to not add too many or the flatbread won't be able to support the weight.
Step by Step Directions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, oregano, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
Step 2: Add the chicken to a gallon-sized zip-top bag or large container. Pour in the marinade. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 3: Lightly oil the grill grate with vegetable oil or cooking spray and set the temperature to medium-high heat.
Step 4: Add the chicken to the grill, and grill, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165°F (74°C).
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Tip: For the juiciest chicken, allow the grilled chicken breasts to rest for 15 minutes before slicing them.
Step 5: Place all of the tzatziki sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 6: Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors come together.
Tip: Many tzatziki sauce recipes recommend salting and draining the cucumber. We will skip that step so that the sauce is thinner and easier to drizzle over the pizza.
Step 7: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread the hummus across the flatbreads.
Step 8: Top the flatbreads with the chicken, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, black olives, and red onions in a single layer.
Step 9: Sprinkle the flatbreads with mozzarella and feta.
Step 10: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the mozzarella cheese has melted and browned slightly. The feta cheese won't melt much.
Top with tzatziki sauce and fresh chopped parsley or fresh oregano and enjoy.
Serving Suggestions
I like to serve this Greek Flatbread Pizza with a bright fresh green salad. You can continue the Greek theme by making a Greek salad with romaine lettuce, artichokes, black olives, and feta cheese, and top it with the extra tzatziki sauce or try one of my favorite salads this Kale and Apple Salad with Honey Dressing.
You can also serve a variety of other appetizers with this pizza like these Traeger Smoked Chicken Wings, Smoked Cream Cheese, Smoked Potato Skins, or these Chicken and Zucchini Fritters.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
To Reheat: There are a couple of ways to reheat flatbread pizza.
- Microwave: You can reheat it in the microwave at 30-second intervals but the flatbread will not be as crunchy.
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 250°F (130°C) and bake the flatbread pizza on a sheet pan for 5-10 minutes. This is my favorite method.
Recipe FAQs
Flatbread is a type of bread that is flat, unleavened, and typically thin. Unlike traditional bread, which often rises due to the fermentation of yeast, flatbread is usually made without yeast or with minimal leavening agents.
Instead, it may be leavened with baking powder, baking soda, or simply rolled thin without any leavening agents.
Yep!
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Place on the grill for about 6 minutes until the mozzarella cheese has melted and browned slightly. The feta cheese won't melt much.
3. Top with tzatziki sauce and enjoy.
Expert Tips
- Have an herb garden? Substitute fresh herbs for the dried herbs. When using fresh herbs you will want to double the amount.
- Refrigerate the tzatziki sauce for at least one hour. This is an important step and shouldn't be skipped it gives the flavors time to blend.
- For the juiciest chicken, allow the grilled chicken breasts to rest for 15 minutes before slicing them.
- Adjust the toppings according to your family's tastes. If you are not a fan of one of the toppings feel free to leave it off or substitute another topping.
- Be careful not to add too many delicious toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza crust soggy.
- Not a fan of hummus? Try substituting this Homemade Spinach Pesto.
- Save the leftover tzatziki sauce, it makes a delicious salad dressing.
