Directions

Prepare the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, marinate raw chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes. Grill or pan-sear until fully cooked, then dice or shred.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce: Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the flatbread with olive oil and place it on a baking sheet.
Assemble the Flatbread: Evenly distribute the cooked chicken over the flatbread. Add halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped Kalamata olives. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
Bake: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with tzatziki sauce. Sprinkle fresh parsley, extra dill, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Spicy Twist: Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or hot sauce before baking.
Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flatbread or cauliflower crust.
