Ingredients You’ll Need

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast: The star of your dish, ensuring juicy bites. You can substitute with thighs for more flavor.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil: Adds richness. Feel free to substitute with avocado oil if preferred.
1 clove garlic, finely minced: Infuses a lovely aroma. Fresh garlic is always a must for maximum flavor.
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar: Adds depth to the marinade; choose whichever you have on hand.
1 teaspoon salt: Essential for enhancing all the flavors.
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper: Brings a hint of heat and sharpness.
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning or ground oregano: Offers a herby backdrop. You can use fresh herbs like oregano or thyme for a fresher taste.
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved: Sweet and juicy, they add color and texture.
1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced: Offers a crunchy, refreshing quality.
½ small red onion, sliced: Provides a zingy taste; soak in cold water for a milder flavor if desired.
¼ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved: Adds saltiness and depth, which you can substitute with green olives.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil: For the mixed salad, bringing everything together.
½ teaspoon salt: To season the salad; tastes best when adjusted to personal preference.
¼ teaspoon black pepper: For added flavor.
2 teaspoons fresh chopped dill: An herb often found in Greek cuisine, lifting the salad’s flavor profile.
Store-bought tzatziki sauce: The perfect complement for your flatbreads, you can make your own for freshness.
¼ cup feta cheese plus more for serving: Creamy and crumbly, it’s essential for that Greek touch.
4-6 individual pita or naan bread: These will serve as your base; warm them for a cozy touch.

How to Make Greek Chicken Flatbreads

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl or zip-top bag, combine the chicken with ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove finely minced garlic, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is well coated. For the best results, marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Make the Greek Salad: In a separate bowl, toss together 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1 peeled and sliced English cucumber, ½ small sliced red onion, ¼ cup halved pitted kalamata olives, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons fresh chopped dill. Adjust seasoning to taste to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and add it to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. If you’re cooking in batches, make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Assemble the Flatbreads: To serve, spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on the warmed pita or naan bread. Top with the sautéed chicken and a heaping scoop of the prepared Greek salad.
Finish & Enjoy: Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top and add extra dill, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy every delightful bite!

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the assembled flatbreads (without toppings) for up to three months. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then warm the flatbreads in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, until heated through. Note that freezing may change the texture of the fresh vegetables, so consider adding them fresh once reheated.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

To avoid overcooking, check the chicken for doneness after 8 minutes; it should be golden brown and juices run clear.
Marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight if you have the time, as this deepens the flavor.
If you love extra crunch, add in some diced bell peppers or a handful of baby spinach to your salad.
Make extra tzatziki sauce to serve on the side for dipping—it’s refreshing and pairs well with any leftovers!

Greek Chicken Flatbreads are not just a meal; they’re a delightful adventure in flavors and textures. You’ll find yourself enjoying the mouthwatering combination of herbs and spices time and time again. Don’t hesitate to play around with the toppings or add your favorite elements to make this dish uniquely yours. Enjoy sharing it with friends and family, or savor it solo on a sunny afternoon!
