Irresistible Greek Chicken Flatbread Recipe for Your Next Meal

Learn how to make delicious Greek Chicken Flatbread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Substitution tips: If you want to lighten it up, swap the chicken breasts for boneless thighs—they stay juicy and add a bit more flavor. For the flatbread, gluten-free or whole wheat options work well, just watch cooking times. No Kalamata olives? Use green olives or skip altogether. And if you don’t have tzatziki on hand, plain Greek yogurt mixed with a squeeze of lemon and minced garlic makes a quick stand-in.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly golden on the edges.
  4. While the chicken cooks, prepare your veggies: halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, dice the cucumber, and slice the olives if using.
  5. Warm the flatbreads on a dry skillet or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until pliable and slightly toasted. This step makes them easier to fold or roll.
  6. Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  7. Assemble the flatbreads by spreading a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each one.
  8. Top with the roasted chicken, then scatter the fresh veggies, olives, and feta cheese evenly.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill for a fresh finish.
  10. Serve immediately, folding or rolling the flatbread to enjoy all the flavors in every bite.

One tip I’ve learned from juggling dinner time with two little ones is to prep the veggies while the chicken is baking. It saves precious minutes and keeps the kitchen less chaotic. Also, don’t skip resting the chicken—it helps keep it juicy, which makes all the difference.
