- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- Kosher salt, to taste
Pizza
- 4 pieces Greek flatbread or pita breads
- Tzatziki sauce (prepared as above)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded chicken breast
- ½ cup sliced kalamata olives
- â…“ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup quartered artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
- â…“ cup feta cheese
- Oregano, to sprinkle
- Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: Combine the garlic, cucumber, and 2 tablespoons fresh dill in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and chop until finely minced. Add the Greek yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, and olive oil, then pulse until blended into a creamy sauce. Season with kosher salt to taste. Refrigerate the tzatziki for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure a crispy crust when baking the pizza.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Place the Greek flatbreads or pita breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, with the domed side facing down. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chilled tzatziki sauce evenly over each flatbread as the base.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle about ⅓ to ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the tzatziki on each flatbread. Layer evenly with shredded chicken breast, sliced kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. Top each pizza with a generous sprinkle of feta cheese and a pinch of oregano. Season lightly with kosher salt if desired.
- Bake the Pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted, the feta cheese begins to turn golden, and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and garnish with fresh dill sprigs and red chili pepper flakes to taste. Add more crumbled feta if desired. Cut each pizza into quarters and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili pepper flakes used as garnish.
- Use Greek flatbread or pita breads that are sturdy enough to hold toppings without becoming soggy.
- Allowing the tzatziki sauce to rest in the refrigerator enhances its flavor and consistency.
- Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
