# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - Zest and juice of 1 lemon
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tsp dried oregano
06 - 1 tsp dried thyme
07 - 1/2 tsp salt
08 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ Flatbread and Toppings

09 - 2 large flatbreads or naan
10 - 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
11 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
12 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
13 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
14 - 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
15 - 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
16 - 1 cup baby arugula
17 - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
18 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 4 hours.
02 - Set oven to 425°F for baking the flatbreads.
03 - Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
04 - Combine Greek yogurt and chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
05 - Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread each with dill yogurt layer. Distribute sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and crumbled feta evenly across both flatbreads.
06 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until flatbread edges are crisp and toppings are heated through.
07 - Remove from oven. Top with fresh baby arugula, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of bright lemon and creamy feta hits every craving at once
  • Ready in under an hour but tastes like something from a restaurant
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps all the juices inside instead of running out on your cutting board
  • Do not skip the lemon zest—that is where all the fragrant lemon oils live that make this dish sing
03 -
  • Grill the chicken outside when the weather is nice for that extra charred flavor
  • Let the flatbreads cool for just 2 minutes before slicing so the cheese sets slightly
