I love making this Tzatziki Chicken & Veggie Naan Pizza when I want something quick, fresh, and full of Mediterranean flavor. I combine creamy tzatziki, tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and salty feta over warm naan bread to create an easy meal that feels both light and satisfying.
Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 naan breads (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
½ cup tzatziki sauce
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
1 small tomato, diced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh dill or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C) and placing the naan breads on a baking sheet.
I lightly brush each naan with olive oil. If I want a crispier base, I warm them in the oven for 3–4 minutes before adding toppings.
Next, I spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each naan. I evenly distribute the cooked chicken, cucumber, tomato, and red onion on top. Then I sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over everything.
I return the assembled naan pizzas to the oven and bake them for 8–10 minutes, until everything is warmed through and the edges of the naan turn golden.
Once out of the oven, I sprinkle fresh dill or parsley over the top. I add salt and pepper if needed, slice, and serve immediately.
Servings and Timing
I find this recipe serves 2–3 people, depending on appetite.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10–15 minutes
Total time: about 20–25 minutes
Variations
I sometimes swap the chicken for cooked lamb or beef when I want a richer flavor. For a vegetarian option, I use seasoned chickpeas instead of meat.
I also like adding sliced olives, roasted red peppers, or fresh spinach for extra vegetables. When I don’t have naan, I use pita bread or flatbread, and it works just as well.
Storage/Reheating
If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place the slices in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5–8 minutes until warmed through. I avoid microwaving when possible because it can make the naan soft instead of crisp.
FAQs
Can I use homemade tzatziki?
Yes, I often make my own tzatziki if I have extra time. I simply mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and dill.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
I prefer assembling it just before baking for the freshest texture, but I sometimes prep all the toppings ahead and store them separately in the fridge.
What type of chicken works best?
I usually use rotisserie or grilled chicken because it adds great flavor and saves time. Any cooked, seasoned chicken works well.
Can I make this gluten-free?
I make it gluten-free by using gluten-free naan or flatbread alternatives available at many grocery stores.
How do I keep the naan from getting soggy?
I lightly pre-bake the naan for a few minutes before adding toppings, and I avoid overloading it with sauce. That helps me keep the base crisp.
Conclusion
I enjoy how this Tzatziki Chicken & Veggie Naan Pizza brings together fresh ingredients and bold Mediterranean flavors in such a simple way. It’s quick, versatile, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or even casual entertaining. Whenever I want something easy but impressive, this is one of the recipes I love to make.
