What is Tzatziki Chicken & Veggie Naan Pizza?

This vibrant dish is exactly what it sounds like: a Mediterranean-inspired flatbread pizza featuring a base of warm naan bread slathered with cool, creamy tzatziki. It’s then layered with juicy chicken, briny olives, sweet cherry tomatoes, tangy feta, and crisp red onions — then finished with fresh spinach and herbs for that perfect fresh bite.

This is fusion done right — marrying traditional Greek flavors with the convenience and comfort of pizza. It’s light yet satisfying, and absolutely packed with texture and flavor.

Why You’ll Fall in Love with This Recipe

There are so many reasons this naan pizza is a keeper:

• Super fast and easy. It comes together in under 25 minutes — perfect for busy weeknights or lazy lunches.

• Big flavors, minimal effort. No complicated doughs or sauces to prepare from scratch (unless you want to!).

• Incredibly versatile. Swap the chicken, mix up the veggies, or go vegetarian — I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!

• Perfect for sharing. This is a fun and interactive meal that everyone can customize at the table.

How Does It Taste?

Close your eyes and take a bite—first, you get the warm, garlicky chew of the naan, crisped at the edges but still soft underneath. Then comes the cool, creamy tzatziki, tangy with yogurt and bright with lemon, mellowed by crisp shreds of cucumber. The chicken—juicy and herb-kissed—pairs perfectly with the salty crumble of feta, while thin slices of red onion add a sharp, almost peppery kick. Every so often, a burst of fresh tomato or herb cuts through the richness.

It’s like your favorite Greek street food, but with the satisfying crunch of baked bread holding it all together. The flavors are bold but balanced—garlicky, tangy, fresh, and just a little salty—with none of that heavy, weighed-down feeling of traditional pizza.

And if you drizzle a little extra tzatziki on top? Pure bliss. Just don’t blame me when you start craving it weekly.

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions

This is where you can really make this pizza your own:

• Vegetarian? Skip the chicken and sub in chickpeas or roasted red peppers.

• No naan? Pita or flatbreads work great too.

How to Make Tzatziki Chicken & Veggie Naan Pizza

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the naan: Place naan breads on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of tzatziki over each, leaving a slight edge around the crust.

3. Top it off: Layer with cooked chicken, red onions, cherry tomatoes, olives, and crumbled feta.

4. Drizzle and season: Lightly drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

5. Bake: Pop in the oven for 10–12 minutes, until the naan is crisp and edges are golden.

6. Add spinach: Remove from the oven and immediately top with fresh spinach. It’ll wilt slightly from the heat.

7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley, slice, and serve warm.

What to Serve With It

This naan pizza is hearty enough on its own, but if you want to round out the meal:

• Greek salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives

• Lemon orzo or couscous on the side

• Roasted chickpeas for extra crunch

• Hummus and pita chips as a starter

Tips for the Best Naan Pizza

• Pre-bake the naan for 2–3 minutes before adding toppings if you like a crispier base.

• Use leftover rotisserie chicken for ultra-easy prep.

• Don’t overdo the tzatziki — a thin layer goes a long way to avoid soggy bread.

• Use fresh herbs for that extra zing — dill really makes it pop!

How to Store Leftovers

• Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 375°F for 5–6 minutes to revive the crispness.

• Not freezer-friendly with tzatziki, but you can prep the toppings ahead for a quick assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes! Just use your favorite gluten-free naan or flatbread — there are some great ones out there these days that hold up beautifully.

 What’s the best store-bought tzatziki?

I love brands like Cedar’s, Boar’s Head, and Trader Joe’s — look for ones that have real cucumber bits and fresh dill for that authentic flavor!

 Can I make it ahead of time?

You can definitely prep all the toppings in advance (even a day ahead!), but for best results, wait to assemble and bake right before serving so the naan stays crisp and fresh.

 What if I don’t like olives?

Totally fine! You can easily sub in sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or even marinated artichokes for a different flavor spin.

 Can I use leftover chicken for this?

Yes — in fact, this recipe is perfect for leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken. Just shred or chop it up and you’re good to go!

 Can I double the recipe for a crowd?

Absolutely. Just line up a few naan breads on a sheet pan or two and build a pizza bar so everyone can top theirs how they like!

 Can I freeze th3is pizza?

Because of the tzatziki, this pizza isn’t freezer-friendly once baked, but you can freeze the naan and pre-cooked toppings separately for a quick meal later.

 Can I cook this on the grill instead of the oven?

Yes! Just grill the naan briefly on both sides, then add the toppings (minus spinach) and cover to let everything warm and melt together. Add spinach and herbs right after removing from the grill.

 What other greens can I use instead of spinach?

Try arugula for a peppery kick or baby kale for a heartier bite. Both wilt nicely and pair well with the tzatziki and feta combo!
