Ingredients

For the Greek Chicken Marinade:

• 1 lb chicken breast fillets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
• 2 tbsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

• 5 ounces Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp grated cucumber
• 1/2 tsp garlic, freshly minced
• 1/2 tsp olive oil
• 1/2-1 tbsp fresh dill
• 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

To Make the Pita Pizza Crust:

• 4 pita rounds
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano

For the Greek Pita Pizza Toppings:

• 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1/2 English cucumber, sliced thinly (about 20 thin slices)
• 1/2 cup diced green peppers
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion
• 8 Kalamata olives, halved
• 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

Marinated Greek Chicken:

• Place the chicken breast fillets in a zip-top baggie. Combine with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Seal and mix well. Allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, up to 8 hours.
• When ready to cook, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes per side, adding a tablespoon of butter for basting. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest before shredding for the pizza topping.

Tzatziki Sauce:

• Mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, fresh dill, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Blend for a smoother texture if desired. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Pita Pizza Crust:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place pita bread on the prepared sheet. Combine olive oil, salt, and dried oregano; brush over the pita rounds.
• Bake for 10 minutes until lightly toasted.

Assemble the Greek Pita Pizzas:

• On each toasted pita, layer 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese, topped with cucumber slices, tomatoes, green peppers, red onion, Kalamata olives, crumbled Feta cheese, shredded marinated Greek chicken, and another sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted.

Serve:

• Serve the pita pizzas with the Tzatziki Sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

• English cucumbers are recommended for their smaller seeds. They’re typically not waxed, hence wrapped in plastic.
