02 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
04 - Combine Greek yogurt and chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
05 - Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread each with dill yogurt layer. Distribute sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and crumbled feta evenly.

07 - Remove from oven. Scatter arugula over top, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and grind fresh black pepper. Slice and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under 45 minutes but tastes like you spent all afternoon thinking about it
  • The bright lemon and herbs cut through the rich feta and yogurt perfectly
  • You can assemble everything ahead and bake when people walk through the door
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps all those juices inside instead of running onto your cutting board
  • The yogurt layer prevents the flatbread from getting soggy underneath the toppings
  • Room temperature ingredients bake more evenly than cold ones straight from the refrigerator
03 -
  • If your flatbreads seem thick brush them lightly with olive oil before adding toppings for extra crispness
  • Warm the flatbreads for 2 minutes before spreading the yogurt so they do not tear
