Why This Greek Chicken Flatbread Works

Greek-inspired food is all about contrast: warm and cool, savory and tangy, rich and fresh. This skillet flatbread nails that balance beautifully.

The Chicken: Marinated with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and oregano, the chicken stays juicy and deeply flavorful.
The Flatbread: Crisp on the bottom, tender in the center, and sturdy enough to hold generous toppings.
The Cheese: Mozzarella provides meltiness, while feta adds salty tang.
The Fresh Toppings: Cool cucumber, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, and red onion brighten every bite.
The Finish: A drizzle of tzatziki ties everything together with creamy, herby freshness.

Tips for the Best Skillet Flatbread

Use a cast-iron skillet if possible—it gives the best crust.
Don’t overload the flatbread or it may steam instead of crisp.
Add fresh toppings after cooking to keep them crunchy and bright.
Warm the flatbread first for extra crisp edges if your skillet is large enough.

Variations to Try

Spicy Greek Flatbread: Add crushed red pepper flakes or harissa.
Vegetarian Version: Swap chicken for roasted zucchini and mushrooms.
Low-Carb Option: Use a cauliflower or keto-friendly flatbread.
Dairy-Free: Skip cheese and add hummus instead of tzatziki.
