Instructions

Preparation

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. 2If using pre-cooked chicken, shred or dice it. If using raw chicken, cook it thoroughly, then shred or dice.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  1. 1Brush the pizza dough lightly with olive oil. This will create a nice barrier and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  2. 2Evenly scatter the cooked chicken over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  3. 3Distribute the crumbled feta cheese, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced red onion over the chicken.
  4. 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.
  5. 5Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle with fresh oregano and dill.

Serving

  1. 1Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing generously over the hot pizza.
  2. 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.
