# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tsp dried oregano
06 - 1/2 tsp salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Flatbread
08 - 4 store-bought or homemade flatbreads (such as naan or pita)
→ Toppings
09 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
10 - 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
11 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
12 - 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
13 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
14 - 1 cup baby spinach or arugula leaves
→ Tzatziki Sauce
15 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
16 - 1 tbsp olive oil
17 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
18 - 1/4 cup cucumber, finely grated and drained
19 - 1 clove garlic, minced
20 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
21 - Salt and pepper, to taste
# Cooking Steps:
01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, up to 1 hour for maximum flavor infusion.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
03 - Preheat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Transfer to cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
04 - Heat dry skillet or oven to medium-low. Warm flatbreads for 1 to 2 minutes until soft and pliable, taking care not to crisp or dry them out.
05 - Spread generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each warmed flatbread. Layer baby spinach or arugula, sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
06 - Drizzle additional tzatziki sauce over toppings if desired. Serve immediately while flatbreads are still warm and chicken is at peak tenderness.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The contrast between hot marinated chicken and cool creamy tzatziki creates that perfect bite every time
- Everything comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like you spent all day cooking
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest after grilling keeps it juicy instead of dry
- Draining the grated cucumber thoroughly prevents your tzatziki from becoming watery
03 -
- Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness so they cook uniformly and stay tender
- A squeeze of fresh lemon over the finished flatbreads brightens all the flavors
