🫓 Chicken Tzatziki Flatbread
This Chicken Tzatziki Flatbread is dinner in 25 minutes. Grilled chicken goes over warm flatbread with a thick tzatziki spread, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and feta. Extra-virgin olive oil seasons the chicken and the bread.
I love the contrast of hot chicken and cool yogurt. Char the bread, and that extra dill is not optional. 🌿

Why This Flatbread Fits an Anti-Inflammatory Mediterranean Plate
Chicken, extra-virgin olive oil, yogurt, cucumber, tomato, onion, and herbs are a Greek plate on bread. The tzatziki is the sauce. Nothing is fried.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken hot so you get the dark marks from the photo. Rest it before you slice.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
What bread should I use? 🫓
Naan, pita, or a thin pizza crust. A store-bought flatbread with grill marks matches the photo.
Can I use store-bought tzatziki? 🥣
Yes. The homemade version is Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon, and dill.
Can I make it with leftover chicken? 🍗
Yes. Warm the slices in a skillet with a little olive oil so they pick up color.
How do I keep the bread from getting soggy? 🔥
Toast it first. Spread tzatziki just before serving.

Notes & Tips 💡
- Squeeze the grated cucumber hard or the tzatziki turns watery.
- Extra-virgin olive oil seasons the chicken and toasts the bread.
- If the onion is sharp, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes.
- A squeeze of lemon over the finished flatbread keeps it bright.
- This is best eaten right away while the bread is warm and the yogurt is cool.
