Ingredients

Scale
  • 2¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • 1 medium cucumber, seeded and grated (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb/450g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Greek seasoning (or 1 tsp each dried oregano, garlic powder, and dried mint)
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh dill and mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil, mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1-2 hours until doubled.
  2. Make tzatziki by grating cucumber and squeezing out excess moisture in a towel. Mix with Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, dill, olive oil, and salt. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cut chicken into strips and marinate with olive oil, Greek seasoning, salt, and lemon juice for 30+ minutes. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until just cooked. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Stretch dough into a 12-14 inch circle on parchment paper. Brush with olive oil and pre-bake for 5 minutes.
  5. Top pre-baked crust with chicken, red onion, tomatoes, and olives. Bake 8-10 minutes until crust is golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle with feta cheese, and let cool 2-3 minutes. Spread tzatziki sauce over top and garnish with fresh herbs. Slice and serve immediately.
