Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flatbreads (pita bread or naan)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (grilled or rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh lemon wedges (optional)
- Extra parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your flatbread gets nice and crispy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). This marinade will infuse your chicken with flavor.
- Add the shredded chicken to the marinade and stir until it's well-coated. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the flatbreads. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Once the oven is preheated, spread the marinated chicken evenly over the flatbreads. Use a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken, followed by the crumbled feta, olives, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. This layering creates a beautiful and colorful pizza.
- Bake the flatbread pizzas in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning the edges.
- Once done, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This will make slicing easier and safer.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.

Keywords: Don’t overcrowd the toppings; a little goes a long way. For the crispiest flatbread, consider using a pizza stone if you have one. When marinating the chicken, let it sit for at least 10 minutes for maximum flavor absorption. If you're short on time, even 5 minutes will help. Experiment with the cheese ratio to find your ideal balance!
