Me and Greek food and flavours are having a moment! Do you ever go through phases where you crave certain foods or flavours and then all of a sudden a switch turns off and you no longer opt for that food or flavour again? It happens to me all the time. Right now, I’m having a Greek food moment and a tofu moment, which is really weird. Anyway, let me know what your current food obsession is in the comments! This Greek Chicken Pizza is so so delicious and easy to make. Best part is this pizza is pretty darn healthy and it’s gluten-free.
You can use any pizza dough for this recipe, store-bought, homemade, gluten-free, gluten-filled, whatever you want! I always make my paleo pizza crust recipe whenever we make pizza at home. It’s so easy, you don’t need to rest or knead the dough, and it makes the perfect thin crust pizza in my opinion. I’ve included the recipe for my best ever paleo pizza crust down below, but feel free to use any pizza crust you love!
I love topping this pizza with sliced bell peppers, red onion, green olives, sundried tomatoes, and cooked chicken, but feel free to top your pizza with any toppings that are calling your name. Maybe you have some ripe tomatoes, slice them up and add them. Roasted red peppers would be delicious. Skip the chicken to make this pizza vegetarian.
Greek Chicken Flatbread Pizza
For the Greek Chicken, I season a chicken breast with dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper and then pan-fry it in some olive oil until it’s cooked through. You can use leftover cooked chicken or grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and use that, simply slice up one of the chicken breasts and you’re good to go!
If you’re making my Paleo Pizza Crust, whisk together the flours and spices. Then add in your wet ingredients, egg, oil, and water. Stir that all together and set aside for 5 minutes so the coconut flour has time to absorb all liquid. Dump the crust onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Roll or pat it out into a 1/8 inch thick circle, about 9 inches wide. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Bake at 425ºF for 10-12 minutes or until it’s starting to turn light golden brown around the edges.
Let’s assemble the pizza! Brush on the oil from the jarred sundried tomatoes. Then top with half of your grated mozzarella. Arrange your sliced pepper, red onion, chicken, sliced olives, and sundried tomatoes evenly. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top and then top with crumbled feta.
The Best Chicken Pizza Recipe
Bake your pizza for 10-15 minutes if using the paleo pizza crust or longer if using a storebought or homemade pizza crust, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
2. Stir in the eggs, oil, and water. Set aside for 5 minutes. Then dump the crust onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Roll into a 9-inch diameter and prick with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until it's starting to turn golden brown.

4. once cooked, brush sundried tomato oil on the top of the crust. Spread half the mozzarella on top. Evenly arrange the toppings. Top with remaining mozzarella and crumbled feta.
5. Bake for another 12-15 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and golden. Transfer to a cutting board. Slice, serve and enjoy!This Gyro Pizza recipe is an explosion of Greek deliciousness!

You guys, this Gyro Pizza is one of my favorite culinary creations! Instead of heavy, meaty cheesy pizza, we have light, flavor bursting, guilt-free pizza that’s deeply satisfying.
Chicken Gyro Greek Pizza (how To Freeze, Reheat, Etc)
The thin crunch of the Flatout Flatbread, the creaminess of the Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Hummus, the juicy, flavor exploding Greek chicken, the cheesy gooey mozzarella, the tangy feta and creamy punch of dill infused Blender Tzatziki Sauce makes this Greek Pizza one fresh, satisfying and irresistible meal you won’t be able to live without!
This Gyro Pizza is based off of a chicken gyro and a gyro is only as good as the chicken – and this Greek chicken is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion.It’s my new favorite chicken marinade
. It’s definitely Patrick’s. This is actually a huge surprise to me as I am more of an Asian and Mexican food kind of girl, but there is no denying the deliciousness that is this Greek Pizza. Be prepared to fall in love!
Loaded Greek Chicken Salad Pizza
The Greek Chicken marinade has quite a few ingredients but they are mostly a quick dash of common pantry spices that when combined make this chicken so good you will be want to eat it just plain!
Since we’re trying to achieve a gyro type taste an feel for this Gyro Pizza, I chose to use flatbread for the pizza “crust” but you have a few options:
Flatbread: I love this chewy, crispy option of flatbread as it really allows the other ingredients to shine just like in my Taco Flatbread Pizza. Flatout Flatbreads come in Rosemary and Olive Oil, Spicy Italian, or Rustic White. I used Rustic White because that’s what I had on hand but I can’t wait to try these flatbreads with the other two flavors! And because we are using flatbreads instead of pizza crust, you can eat and eat and eat with a big blissful, guilt free smile on your face – in less time. Flatout Flatbread come partially baked so you will want to bake them for 2 minutes to crisp up before adding the hummus and other ingredients.
Greek Chicken Pizzas
Naan: Naan is a type of flatbread but is a little thicker than Flatout Flatbread so you can skip the 2 minute baking time before adding toppings.
Pizza dough: If you want to go full pizza, you can use either store-bought pizza dough or my incredible, RAVE review worthy pizza dough recipe. I haven’t tried this Gyro Pizza recipe using pizza dough, but I am assuming my recipe would be the right amount for one regular sized pizza (two flatbread pizzas). If you use my pizza dough recipe, be aware that it is for two pizzas, so you can either halve the recipe or freeze the dough (instructions included in the post).
That’s right, finish off your Gyro Pizza with heavenly Blender Tzatziki. This tzatziki is tangy, fresh and awakens and enlivens all the rest of the Greek Pizza flavors – just like it does a gyro – so PLEASE don’t skip it!
Greek Pizza With Tzatziki Drizzle
I like to make my Blender Tzatziki Sauce the same time I am marinating my chicken, that way it is extra chilled, the flavors melded, and requires no extra time or effort when it comes to making the Gyro Pizza.
This Tzatziki Sauce is extra simple because there is no need to strain your cucumbers because we want the sauce to be a little thinner than usual – more the consistency of a dressing than a sauce – so we can easily drizzle its creamy tang all over our Greek Pizzas. I’ve subbed out half of the Greek Yogurt for sour cream because I personally like the taste better but feel free to use all Greek yogurt if you prefer – or even all sour cream if you prefer.
This Gyro Pizza is practically a meal-in-one. We love to serve it with a big green salad and fruit but it is also delicious with some more sophisticated options:
Greek Chicken Pizza Recipe
Fold slices of Gyro Pizza in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you know you’re going to have leftovers, then don’t add the lettuce, tomato and tzatziki to those slice and store them on the side in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
You can reheat this Gyro Pizza in the microwave at 30 second intervals but the flatbread will lose some of its crunch. I prefer to reheat this pizza in the oven at 250 degrees for approximately 5-10 minutes. You will want to remove any fresh toppings before reheating and add them fresh.
Yes! You will just want to make sure you remove any fresh toppings before freezing as they will become an unpleasant texture.
