Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast Provides a savory base; substitute with chickpeas or falafel for a vegetarian option.

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the flavor of the chicken; fresh garlic can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano A classic Mediterranean herb adding earthy flavors; thyme is a suitable alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds color and a hint of smokiness; for deeper flavor, use smoked paprika.
  • to taste Salt and Pepper Essential for balancing flavors in the dish.
For the Pizza Base
  • 4 pieces Naan Bread Serves as the pizza base, offering a soft, chewy texture; pita or flatbread can be swapped if needed.
For the Sauce & Cheese
  • 1 cup Tzatziki Sauce A creamy, tangy layer crucial for this pizza; make homemade for best flavor.

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup Cucumber Slices Adds crunch and freshness; substitute with sliced bell peppers if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion Provides a mild, zesty kick; green onions can be used for a milder flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Adds a tangy, salty finish; goat cheese is a great alternative.

  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of cubed chicken breast, then season with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring until golden brown and no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a crispy naan crust. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place the naan bread on the baking sheet. Spread tzatziki sauce over each naan, reaching the edges. Add shredded mozzarella cheese if desired, followed by cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and crumbled feta.
  4. Transfer the assembled pizza to the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the naan edges are golden and crispy, and cheese is bubbly if used.
  5. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and sprinkle with dill or parsley. Serve warm with lemon wedges for a zesty kick.
