Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast – Cubed or thinly sliced.

- 1 tsp garlic powder – For seasoning.
- 1 tsp dried oregano – A classic Mediterranean herb.
- ½ tsp paprika – Adds color and a hint of smokiness.
- Salt and pepper to taste – To balance the flavors.
For the Pizza:
- 4 pieces naan bread – Acts as the pizza base; soft and perfect for personal-sized pizzas.
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce – Creamy and tangy, serving as the “sauce” for the pizza.
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional) – Adds a melty, cheesy layer (optional for a lighter version).
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved – Fresh and juicy topping.
- ½ cup cucumber slices – Adds crunch and freshness.
- ¼ cup sliced red onion – For a mild, zesty kick.
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese – A tangy, salty finish.
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh dill or parsley – For a pop of freshness.
- Lemon wedges – To squeeze over the finished pizza.
Instructions
🔹 Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
🔹 Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
🔹 Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
🔹 Remove from heat and set aside.
🔹 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
🔹 Place the naan bread on a large baking sheet or pizza stone.
🔹 Spread tzatziki sauce evenly over each piece of naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
🔹 (If using mozzarella cheese), sprinkle a thin layer over the tzatziki sauce.
🔹 Top each naan with the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
🔹 Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
🔹 Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges of the naan are golden and crispy.
🔹 (If using mozzarella, bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.)
🔹 Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley.
🔹 Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
✔ Serve fresh and warm with a side of extra tzatziki sauce for dipping.
✔ Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
✔ Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes or in a skillet to keep the naan crispy.
