Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread with Avocado Tzatziki Sauce
Ok, I have to start out by saying. If you live where there is still snow I’m sorry, please don’t hate me. Right now it is in the 70’s so hey … this girl has to grill.
This dish was inspired by some sweet friends of ours, Jonathan & Desiree. {yeah I know.. I love her name too!} I first met them when I was working at our church in the Community Life Ministry. Jonathan and Desiree were small group leaders and seriously the most awesome people you will ever meet. After I resigned we still kept in contact with them and they invited us over one day.
Desiree created this amazing meal with a Greek/Mediterranean theme, baked feta cheese for an appetizer, greek seasoned chicken & steak kabobs, fresh made hummus, with warm flatbread. The other day I was thinking about that amazing meal and created this Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread with Avocado Tzatziki Sauce. Yup, you read that right. AVOCADO tzatziki sauce, and believe me this sauce is da bomb.com.
The flavors of this will totally take you to the Mediterranean in a heartbeat. The smokey grill taste from the Chicken & Vegetable Skewers works perfectly with the toasted warm flatbread and that sauce… oh that sauce… will just make you want more and more! If you are on a gluten-free or paleo diet all you need to do to make this dish work for you is omit the flatbread and your good to go. You won’t even miss it, just make double sauce to make up for the missing bread. {can you tell I really like this sauce yet!! haha} Go make it…. NOW! It will change your life… no… YOUR WORLD!
How to Make This Fabulous Flatbread
To get started, soak 12 wooden skewers in cold water for 20 minutes. {this prevents the wood from burning once on grill.) Add 1 lb. of cubed boneless chicken breast to a bowl.
To the chicken bowl add juice from 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon of dry oregano, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Toss to coat chicken.
Prep all your veggies, cut 2 red peppers into 1″ cubes, 1 yellow pepper in 1″ cubes, 1 large zucchini into 1/2″ slices, and 1 red onion in 1″ cubes. Set aside. On wooden skewers alternate chicken with vegetables. Preheat grill to medium high heat.
In the meantime, make Paleo Avocado Tzatziki – recipe HERE. Add Chicken & Vegetable Skewers to the grill. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes. Remove from grill.
Next add 5 whole wheat flatbreads to grill. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes, your just looking for the flatbreads to get warmed up and for slight grill marks. Remove from grill.
To assemble, place flatbread on plate add 1 skewer of the chicken & vegetable combo and top with Paleo Avocado Tzatziki. {to make this meal completely Paleo and Gluten free omit the flatbread}

Oh girl, that avocado dipping sauce is ‘da bomb’. As soon as you get to grilling weather this is a must! 🙂
THIS is what I need and want for dinner right now! Love the grill action and especially the sauce! I love her name, too. I actually have 3(!) friends with the name… how’d I end up with the out of style name?! Love this dish, absolutely gorgeous!
Oh girl, the sauce is killer!
P.S> Your name is classic and will never go out of style!
70s?!?!?! Oh man that’s amazing… can’t wait for that to happen here in NY! I’m itching to get that grill out! And this avocado tzatziki sauce?! It sounds beyond fantastic!
I bet! I remember living in the tundra… aka wisconsin and those winter months are a killer especially without access to the grill. Try those sauce Chris, you will love it. Totally up your alley! 🙂
I’m totally jealous. So ready for 70s!
I still haven’t made tzatziki sauce. What an I waiting for? These look superb!
It will come eventually! 🙂 Melanie you definitely need to try and make it, it is so addicting especially with the avocado in this one!
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing Krista! I adore Mediterranean dishes and love the sound of the avocado tzatziki! Pinning 🙂
Thanks Kelly, the avocado tzatziki is to die for!
It’s already super warm here in Phoenix – so grilling recipes are perfect! 🙂 This sounds uber delish! Pinned!
Ohhh… my sister in law lives there! Yeah for warm weather AND grill weather! Thanks for the pin Jamie!
I still have snow but don’t hate you Krista! We can get to our grill since the deck is clear so we do grill but I have to wear a coat!! Great looking recipe… Have a great week!
🙂 So glad we’re still friends Deb. Wearing a coat to grill is totally worth it to get that tasty meal at the end. Thanks for stopping by Deb, hope you have a great weekend!
Whoa! You musta been catching vibes from me today, if that sorta thing even happens. Haha. Cause I was thinking earlier, when I finally stop eating dairy (or at least the lactose loaded dairy) I won’t be able to enjoy one of my favs – Tzatziki sauce. OMG. But now I can. I love this, Krista! Pinned (and I pinned the avocado tzatziki too!)
Ohhh… dairy free. Major bummer but you are so creative so I know you can make it work. I am a huge tzatziki fan and to be honest I almost like this version more. 🙂 Hope you agree sweet friend. Have an awesome rest of the week!
So pretty Krista! And I’ve gotta try that avocado tzatziki! Pinning!
Thanks Allie, it will seriously change your world. 🙂 So good!
Avocado tzatziki sauce? I can’t wait to try!! What a brilliant idea. And this grilled chicken pita looks amazing. I just adore Mediterranean food. I miss Fadi’s..
Oh so good Min, you will love it! 🙂 Avocado just makes everything better!
One of the things I love most about the south is the ability to grill year round. Love chicken flatbread and the avocado tzatziki sauce looks incredible!
I know right… I moved from Wisconsin and have loved being able to grill all year. 🙂 Thanks for the foodie props Ashley!
This looks awesome, and I need to make this ASAP! This is the way I love to eat. 🙂 Pinning!
Thanks Marcie! It is totally going to be on our weekly menu… sooo good. Thanks for the pin!
This looks so tasty (and healthy). I will be trying this one soon:) have a good week!
Thanks Rachel! It is seriously ah-mazing!
You just took my addiction to tzatziki to the next level! Adding avo is genius! I wish I had had this for lunch, it looks amazing!

These look amazing! The veggies are perfect and the guac…mmmm so yummy!
Thanks Joanna! 🙂
This looks so good! I can’t wait until we can use the grill. Unfortunately we just got a bunch of snow yesterday so right now, the grill is covered in snow!
Oh…. go away snow!!! Its about time! Praying that grilling season comes quickly for you Kathy!
This looks incredible! I’m always wishing we had a grill to make things like this. I think it’s high time I at least construct a temporary hillbilly grill with cement blocks because boy do I need to try this!
oh totally … hillbilly it up girl! Its worth it, their is nothing like a good grill taste! THanks for the sweet comments girl!
Loved that you used flat bread!

Thanks Gina… I’ll bring this for dinner and you just make one of your yummy dulce de leche desserts and we’ll call it a night. 🙂
So jealous that you can GRILL already! LOVE this flat bread—your chicken and veggies look grilled to perfection and that avocado sauce! I think I could eat it with a spoon. Totally making this just as soon as the snow is off my grill. 😉
