# Steps:

01 - Combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken cubes, toss thoroughly, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
02 - While chicken marinates, preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.
04 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate.
05 - Arrange naan breads on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil.
06 - Sprinkle each naan with mozzarella cheese. Distribute cooked chicken, feta cheese, olives, red onion, and cherry tomatoes evenly across each naan.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are slightly crisp.
08 - Remove from oven and drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Slice and serve immediately.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • The whole thing comes together in 35 minutes, which means you can have something elegant on the table on a weeknight without the stress.
  • It tastes like you've been cooking all day, but the secret is letting the lemon and oregano do most of the heavy lifting.
02 -
  • The tzatziki must be made ahead or at least chilled; a warm sauce defeats the whole purpose of that cooling contrast that makes this dish work.
  • Don't skip draining your grated cucumber for the tzatziki, or you'll end up with a watery sauce that slides right off the pizza.
03 -
  • Cut your chicken into pieces that are smaller than you think they need to be because they shrink as they cook and you want them to stay tender.
  • The secret that changed everything for me was brushing the naan with oil before topping it rather than after, because that's what gets you those crispy, golden edges.
