# Instructions:
01 -
Slice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and set aside while preparing other ingredients for your Greek Chicken Flatbread.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup grated cucumber (squeezed dry), 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped), and 1/2 clove garlic (minced). Stir well to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the Greek Chicken Flatbread.
03 -
Halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes, dice 1/2 English cucumber, thinly slice 1/4 red onion, and halve 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives. Keep these vibrant Mediterranean toppings separate and ready for assembly. This quick prep ensures your High Protein & Quick Dinner comes together fast.
04 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked for a safe and delicious Greek Chicken Flatbread: High Protein & Quick Dinner. Remove from heat.
05 -
While the chicken cooks or immediately after, warm 4 pieces (6-inch) whole wheat flatbreads. You can do this in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, in a toaster oven, or microwave until soft and pliable. This creates the perfect base for your meal.
06 -
Spread a generous layer of the prepared Greek yogurt tzatziki onto each warm flatbread. Top evenly with the cooked chicken strips, followed by the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Distribute toppings evenly across all four flatbreads.
07 -
Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over each flatbread. For an extra touch, drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Serve your Greek Chicken Flatbread: High Protein & Quick Dinner immediately and enjoy this flavorful meal!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. This allows the lemon and oregano to really penetrate the meat.
02 -
Leftover chicken and vegetable toppings can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Assemble flatbreads just before serving for best texture.
03 -
Feel free to customize your toppings! Add some chopped bell peppers, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, or even a dash of hot sauce for a kick.
04 -
If you don't have whole wheat flatbreads, pita bread or even large tortillas can be used as a substitute. Adjust warming times accordingly.
