Chicken Tzatziki Pizza

This was a super good and wonderful combination of ingredients. Loved it. The original recipe can be found here, although I did make some alterations.

For Tzatziki Sauce:

1 cup plain greek yogurt

½ cup sour cream

2 cloves garlic

1 cucumber, peeled, cut in quarters and seeded

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh dill

kosher salt 

 

Chop garlic, cucumber and dill in a food processor. Add yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice and dill and pulse to blend. Add salt to taste.  (There is going to be extra.)

 

For Pizza:

Pizza dough

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded chicken 

½ cup sliced kalamata olives

⅓ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes

1 cup quartered artichoke hearts packed in water, drained

⅓ cup feta cheese 

 

 Instructions:

Put enough tzatziki sauce over pizza dough to cover (like a regular sauce would, so maybe 1-1/2 cups?). Top with cheese, chicken, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and feta cheese.

 

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
