Dice 1/2 English cucumber and 1 large ripe tomato. Thinly slice 1/4 red onion. Halve 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives. These vibrant, fresh ingredients are crucial for the authentic Mediterranean flavor of your Greek Chicken Flatbread: High-Protein & Quick Dinner.
04 -
Lightly warm 4 large flatbreads (e.g., pita or naan) in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, or microwave briefly until soft. This creates a pliable and delicious base for your flatbreads.
05 -
Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the warmed flatbreads. Sprinkle each with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and the halved Kalamata olives.

# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, swap the chicken breast for 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas, sautéed with the same seasonings. Shrimp also makes a great protein alternative.
02 -
The chicken, yogurt drizzle, and chopped vegetables can be prepped up to a day in advance. Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator, then assemble just before serving.
03 -
Enhance your meal by serving these flatbreads with a simple side salad of mixed greens and a light vinaigrette, or a bowl of hummus for dipping.
04 -
Feel free to customize your flatbreads! Add a handful of fresh spinach, roasted red peppers, or a sprinkle of fresh mint for extra flavor and nutrition.
