Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball pizza dough (about 12 oz, store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack and let it heat for at least 30 minutes. If using a baking sheet, lightly oil or line with parchment.
- In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken with oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let it marinate while you prep the rest.
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or floured pizza peel if using a stone.
- Brush olive oil over the crust’s surface and edges. Spread tzatziki sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the tzatziki. Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken. Top with feta, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and olives if using.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley.
- Slice into 6–8 pieces and serve hot, with extra tzatziki for dipping if desired.
Notes
For best results, preheat your oven and pizza stone thoroughly. Pat veggies dry to avoid a soggy crust. Use gluten-free or dairy-free alternatives as needed. Don’t overload with toppings for a crispier pizza. Let the pizza rest a couple of minutes before slicing for neater pieces.
