Ingredients
Greek Marinated Chicken: The chicken breast is marinated in a delicious greek marinade filled with lemon, garlic, and herbs and then grilled.
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 or Naan Bread: I like to make my own sourdough flatbread to help manage my sourdough discard but flatbread pizza is just as tasty and even simpler if you use store-bought flatbread. If you don't have a sourdough starter you can use this recipe for No Yeast Flatbread.
Flatbread makes a great pizza crust. It is the perfect size for creating individual pizzas and has a great pizza crust texture once it is baked - not too crunchy and not too doughy.
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. Note: 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.
Other Topping Ideas
Here are a few more toppings you could add. Just be careful to not add too many or the flatbread won't be able to support the weight.
- fresh or roasted red peppers
- sun-dried tomatoes
- sliced zucchini
- pepperoncini
- pickled red onion
- caramelized onion
- fresh spinach
Directions
Chicken Marinade
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.
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.
Lightly oil the grill grate with vegetable oil or cooking spray and set the temperature to medium-high heat.
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 degrees Farenheight.
Tzatziki Sauce
Place all of the tzatziki sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors come together.
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.
Save leftover tzatziki sauce, it makes a delicious salad dressing.
Pizza Assembly
Place flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread the hummus across the flatbreads.
Top the flatbreads with the chicken, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, black olives, and red onions in a single layer.
Sprinkle the flatbreads with mozzarella and feta.
Cooking
Because the chicken is grilled I like to cook these flatbread pizzas on the grill since it is already preheated. This is also great for hot summer days when you don't want to heat up your kitchen.
If you don't want to grill the pizza it can also be baked in the oven.
To Grill
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the flatbread pizzas on the grill for about 6 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.
To Bake
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheight.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes directly on the oven rack 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 Mediterranean flatbread pizza with a bright fresh green salad. You can continue the Greek them 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.

Storage
Store leftover Greek flatbread pizzas in the refrigerator for up to five days.
To Reheat
There are a couple of ways to reheat Greek 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 degrees Farenheight and bake the flatbread pizza on a sheet pan for 5-10 minutes. This is my favorite method.
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.
- 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 to not 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.
