01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes, toss well, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

07 - Remove from oven. Drizzle generously with tzatziki and garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Slice and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 35 minutes, which means you can feed actual hungry people without losing your mind.
  • The naan base is somehow more exciting than regular pizza dough and stays soft even when it cools a bit.
  • You get all those bright Mediterranean flavors without feeling like you're eating health food—it tastes decadent.
02 -
  • Don't skip marinating the chicken—those 15 minutes transform basic cubes into something really special that carries the flavor of the entire dish.
  • Squeeze your grated cucumber like your life depends on it, because watery tzatziki will make your naan soggy if you drizzle it on before serving.
03 -
  • Cube your chicken small so it cooks through in the marinade time and crisps quickly in the skillet without drying out.
  • Brush the naan with oil before topping so it gets crispy rather than just soft, which gives you better texture contrast.
