Ingredients

For marinade:

For pizza:

  • 1 pound whole wheat pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion you can also do sliced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1/3 cup diced English cucumber
  • 1/4-1/3 cup tzatziki sauce

For tzatziki sauce:

  • 1 cup shredded cucumber
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint

Instructions

For marinade:

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, oregano, lemon juice and kosher salt.
  • Add in cubed chicken breast, stir to combine and let marinade for 30 minutes.
  • Once the chicken has marinaded add the chicken to a non-stick skillet set over medium high heat.
  • Cook until just lightly browned on the outside, about 3 minutes. Don't worry if the chicken is still a little pink. It will finish getting cooked in the oven.

For pizza:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stretch dough as thin as possible onto a silpat lined baking sheet. This is my preferred method because you do not have to worry about having cornmeal on hand.
  • Lightly coat the dough with olive oil and sprinkle the pizza with 1/2 cup feta cheese.
  • Top the cheese with chicken, red onions and cherry tomatoes.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes until the dough is fully cooked and the top is just lightly golden.
  • Remove pizza from the oven, top with remaining 1/4 cup feta cheese and diced cucumber.
  • Drizzle with desired amount of tzatziki sauce.

For tzatziki sauce:

  • Add shredded cucumber to a colander, sprinkle with salt and toss to coat evenly.
  • Let the cucumber sit (I leave my colander in the sink) for about 30 minutes to help draw some the water out of the cucumber. I like to press the cucumber agains the colander just to get as much water out as possible.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl add salted cucumber, Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, minced dill and minced mint. Stir together to combine. Keep cold until ready to use.
