Greek Chicken Pizzas
These Greek Chicken Pizzas are so healthy and full of protein! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and can be grilled up in no time or even cooked in advance for easy meal prep! I actually used pre-cooked chicken from my Trifecta meal prep delivery plan, which is a lifesaver during those busy work weeks! I use pita bread as my pizza crust to keep the Greek vibe going haha! The Joseph's flax pitas are awesome because they are only 60 calories each, low carb, and have 6 grams of protein! The way that I layered my pizza crust is with my homemade tzatziki sauce, sautéed spinach, lemon chicken, feta, dill, and lemon zest. The variations of toppings you can put in your pizzas are endless though! I will include some other topping ideas below!
This recipe makes 4 pizzas. I cut each pizza into 4 slices and had 2 slices as a serving, but my husband can eat an entire pizza in one sitting lol! The macros below are for one entire pizza, so if you can only eat half like me, cut those macros in half!

Reasons to Love This Pizza
- Quick & Easy: These are so quick to throw together and you can mix and match the toppings with whatever you have on hand!
- Macros: These are full of healthy, fresh ingredients and PACKED with protein! One pizza has 60 grams of protein wow! They are also lower in carbs and full of healthy fats.
Nutritional Benefits
- Chicken: Chicken is low in calories and high in protein! It is a good source of Vitamin B12 and choline, which is essential for brain development and function. It can help with weight management and decrease your chance of heart disease.
- Feta Cheese: If you decide to add feta cheese in your bowls (highly recommend), feta contains lots of calcium and probiotics (bone & gut health!).
- Tzatziki Sauce: My homemade tzatziki sauce is full of protein, probiotics and is extremely hydrating thanks to the cucumbers!
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- Chicken - 1 1/4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces. I used pre-cooked & diced chicken from my Trifecta meal prep plan to speed up the cooking process, but I will include the full directions below if you are using raw chicken.
- Lemon Pepper - 1 teaspoon, or to taste.
- Salt - To taste.
- Garlic Powder - 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste.
- Onion Powder - 1/2 teaspoon.
- Lemon Juice - 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon.
- Pita bread - I used the Joseph’s flax, oat bran, & whole wheat pita bread - These are only 60 calories each with 6 grams of protein! You can find it on Amazon here!
For the Topping:
- Spinach - 6 ounces baby spinach. Sautéed in 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt & pepper
- Tzatziki Sauce - 1 cup tzatziki sauce. Homemade is a game changer!
- Lemon Zest - Zest of one lemon.
- Feta - 4 ounces (112g) of crumbled feta.
- Dill - Fresh dill (or dry), for garnish & additional flavor (optional)
- Pita Bread - 4 pieces of the Joseph’s Low Net Carb Flax Pita Bread.
- Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Other Optional Toppings
Here are some of my other favorite Greek toppings:
- Olives
- Hummus
- Red Onion
- Chickpeas
- Tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and a light spray of nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Allow to marinate while you prepare your pizza crust. Skip this step obviously if you are using pre-cooked chicken already haha! Just season it and toss together in a bowl.
- Brush all 4 pitas with the olive oil and place in the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the pita bread is a little golden around the edges.
- Cook your chicken on a skillet over medium/high heat for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked. You can also bake it or grill it - totally up to you!
- Prepare each pizza with (1) 1/4 cup tzatziki (2) 1/4 of the sautéed spinach (3) 5 oz. cooked chicken (4) 1 oz. feta (5) 1/4 of the lemon zest and (6) fresh dill to taste.
- Bake the pizzas for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers that in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These pizzas are best fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven at 300F or so for 10-15 minutes.
