Ingredients
Scale
Base and Sauce
- 2 naan flatbreads
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Protein and Cheese
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced (optional)
Seasoning and Garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough to crisp the naan and melt the cheese evenly.
- Prepare the Naan Base: Place the naan flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each naan, making sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent sogginess.
- Add the Protein and Cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the tzatziki-covered naan. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese followed by crumbled feta cheese for a rich, creamy texture.
- Top with Vegetables: Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, and sliced kalamata olives (if using) evenly over the cheese.
- Season and Drizzle: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each naan, then sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the naan edges are slightly crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add roasted chickpeas or extra vegetables instead.
- Pita bread can be used as an alternative to naan for a thinner crust.
- Add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
