Directions
-
I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the flatbread on a baking sheet. I brush it with olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder, then toast it in the oven for about 5–7 minutes until warm and slightly crisp.
-

I remove the flatbread from the oven and spread a generous layer of tzatziki over the surface.

I top it with the seasoned chicken, then layer on cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and crumbled feta.

I finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs before slicing and serving.
Servings and timing

Variations
-
I use hummus instead of tzatziki for a different base.
-
I add chopped spinach or arugula for a leafy touch.
-
I grill the flatbread for extra char and flavor.
-
I make it vegetarian by swapping chicken for roasted chickpeas or grilled halloumi.
storage/reheating
If I have leftovers, I store the components separately for best texture. Assembled flatbreads are best eaten fresh, but I can reheat the bread and chicken, then add the fresh toppings again when ready to serve.
FAQs
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes, it’s a great shortcut. I toss it with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and oregano for extra flavor.
What’s the best flatbread to use?
I like naan, pita, or any flatbread that gets slightly crispy in the oven while staying soft in the center.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! I use a dairy-free tzatziki and skip the feta or use a plant-based alternative.
Can I prep this ahead?
Absolutely. I prep the chicken and chop the veggies in advance. When I’m ready to eat, I just warm the flatbread and assemble.
Is this good for kids?
Yes, I keep the toppings simple and let them build their own—it’s fun and customizable.
Conclusion
Greek Chicken Flatbread is a vibrant, satisfying meal that brings together fresh Mediterranean flavors with minimal effort. I love how it’s easy to throw together but still feels special, and it works just as well for a quick lunch as it does for a casual dinner. Every bite is a mix of warm, creamy, juicy, and crisp—and that’s what makes it so irresistible.
