Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the flatbread base:

  • Store-bought or homemade flatbread or naan

  • Olive oil

  • Garlic powder or fresh garlic (optional, for brushing)

For the Greek chicken:

  • Cooked chicken breast or thighs, sliced or shredded

  • Olive oil

  • Lemon juice

  • Garlic, minced

  • Dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper

Toppings:

  • Tzatziki sauce

  • Cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Cucumber, chopped or sliced

  • Red onion, thinly sliced

  • Kalamata olives, sliced (optional)

  • Crumbled feta cheese

  • Fresh parsley or dill (for garnish)

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. While the flatbread toasts, I warm the chicken in a skillet with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until heated through and flavorful.

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

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

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

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2–4 flatbreads and takes about 25 minutes total. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, meal prep, or casual entertaining.

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.
