# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup finely grated and squeezed-dry cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir well, season with salt, and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
02 -
Pat 3/4 lb thinly sliced chicken breast dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Coat every slice evenly for maximum flavor.
03 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. This Greek Chicken Flatbread | High-Protein Quick Dinner gets its bold flavor from properly seared, well-seasoned chicken.
04 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Brush both 6-inch whole wheat flatbreads with 1 tbsp olive oil mixed with 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 4–5 minutes until lightly crisp and golden around the edges.
05 -
Remove the warm flatbreads from the oven and generously spread the chilled tzatziki evenly across both. For the best Greek Chicken Flatbread | High-Protein Quick Dinner, don't skip this creamy layer — it acts as both sauce and a cooling contrast to the warm toppings.
06 -
Arrange the cooked chicken slices over the tzatziki. Top each flatbread with 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives, and 1/4 thinly sliced red onion, distributing everything evenly between both flatbreads for balanced bites.
07 -
Crumble 3 oz feta cheese generously over both loaded flatbreads. The salty, tangy feta is the finishing touch that makes this Greek Chicken Flatbread | High-Protein Quick Dinner taste authentically Mediterranean and incredibly satisfying in every single bite.
08 -
Slice each flatbread into thirds or halves and serve immediately. For the best Greek Chicken Flatbread | High-Protein Quick Dinner experience, enjoy straight from the oven while the base is still crisp and the toppings are fresh. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Make-ahead tip: The tzatziki spread can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator — the flavors actually deepen overnight, making it even more delicious.
02 -
Storage advice: Store leftover chicken and toppings separately from the flatbreads in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reassemble and reheat flatbreads in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispiness before topping.
03 -
Substitution tip: No whole wheat flatbreads on hand? Naan, pita bread, or even a thin pizza crust work beautifully. For a lower-carb option, use large lettuce wraps or a cauliflower-based flatbread instead.
04 -
Protein boost tip: To increase the protein content even further, add a soft-boiled egg on top or swap the Greek yogurt for a higher-protein strained labneh, which also gives the tzatziki a thicker, richer consistency.
