Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the Pizzas: Place the naan breads on a baking sheet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce on each naan (reserve the rest for drizzling). Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then top with sliced cooked chicken, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and olives.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the naan edges are crisp.
Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven. Drizzle with remaining tzatziki sauce, sprinkle with cucumbers and fresh herbs. Slice and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use store-bought rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
The naan can be swapped for pita bread or a pre-baked pizza crust.
Add crumbled feta for extra flavor.
The tzatziki sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance.
Serve with a side Greek salad for a complete meal.
