The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that highlight each flavor without overpowering the others. I always reach for fresh, high-quality cucumbers and Greek yogurt for the tzatziki—it’s what gives that signature creaminess and freshness. For the chicken, I prefer using boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, seasoned simply to let the tzatziki shine. The pizza dough can be store-bought or homemade, depending on your time and mood—both work beautifully here.

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (about 12–14 inches)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/2 large cucumber, finely grated and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up for a crispier crust.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden. Let it rest before slicing thinly.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water), garlic, dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready.
  4. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
  5. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the surface.
  6. Arrange the sliced chicken and red onion over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake the pizza in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Dollop generous spoonfuls of tzatziki over the top, or spread it gently for a more even coating.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley or mint if desired, slice, and serve immediately.
