Instructions
Preparation
- 1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- 2If using pre-cooked chicken, shred or dice it. If using raw chicken, cook it thoroughly, then shred or dice.
- 3In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for the dressing until smooth and creamy. Adjust water to reach desired drizzling consistency.
- 4Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel dusted with semolina flour.
Assemble & Bake
- 1Brush the pizza dough lightly with olive oil. This will create a nice barrier and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- 2Evenly scatter the cooked chicken over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- 3Distribute the crumbled feta cheese, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced red onion over the chicken.
- 4Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking time may vary based on your oven and dough thickness.
- 5Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle with fresh oregano and dill.
Serving
- 1Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing generously over the hot pizza.
- 2Slice the Mediterranean Chicken Greek Pizza into wedges and serve immediately.

Tips
- For a crispy crust, preheat your pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven before placing the pizza on it.
- Don't overload the pizza; too many toppings can make the crust soggy and prevent even cooking.
- Serve with a simple green salad dressed with a vinaigrette to balance the rich flavors of the pizza.
