Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads or naan
- 1 cup cooked chicken, cubed or shredded
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce or herbed Greek yogurt
- Dried oregano or parsley, for garnish
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Tzatziki: You can swap for plain Greek yogurt mixed with lemon, garlic, and dill if you don’t have tzatziki.
- Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut or grilled chicken breast for extra flavor.
- Flatbread: Naan, pita, or lavash all work here—just adjust baking time as needed.
- Extras: Add feta cheese, kalamata olives, or a drizzle of olive oil for extra Greek flair.
Step-by-Step Directions
🔥 Step 1: Warm the Flatbread
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and warm for 5 minutes, just until soft and pliable.
🧄 Step 2: Spread the Tzatziki
Remove flatbreads from the oven and spread a generous layer of tzatziki or herbed yogurt on each.
🍗 Step 3: Add the Toppings
Top evenly with cooked chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion slices.
🌿 Step 4: Finish and Serve
Sprinkle with dried oregano or chopped fresh parsley.
Slice and serve warm, or let guests fold and enjoy as a wrap.
Tips for Success
- Use warm flatbread: It makes the textures sing and enhances flavor.
- Slice everything thin: It ensures each bite gets a little of everything.
- Make it a wrap: Use smaller pitas or wrap-style flatbreads for lunchbox-ready meals.
What to Serve with Greek Chicken Flatbread
Pair it with fresh or tangy sides for a complete Mediterranean experience:
- Light Tangy Chicken Salad – light, refreshing, and mayo-free
- Sheet Pan Quesadillas – for a crowd-pleasing side
- Chicken Enchiladas – if you’re planning a Mediterranean-Mexican mashup night
- Cajun Chicken Sausage Gumbo – for a hearty soup pairing
- Blueberry Lemonade – a cooling drink that complements all the spices and herbs
Storage & Leftovers
- Assembled Flatbreads: Best enjoyed immediately.
- Prep-Ahead: Store chopped veggies, cooked chicken, and sauce separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh as needed.
- Freezing: Not recommended once assembled, but flatbreads and cooked chicken freeze well on their own.
