Assemble these flavorful Greek Chicken Nachos using crispy homemade pita chips, seasoned chicken, feta, olives, and a bright tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 whole wheat pita breads
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (see notes for quick recipe)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare the pita chips: Cut pita breads into 8 wedges each. Toss the wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread them in a single layer on two baking sheets.
  2. Bake the pita chips for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the chicken seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  4. Assemble the nachos: Spread the baked pita chips onto a large, oven-safe platter or baking sheet.
  5. Distribute the seasoned chicken evenly over the pita chips.
  6. Sprinkle the feta cheese, Kalamata olives, red onion, and tomato over the chicken layer.
  7. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the feta is slightly softened and the toppings are warm.
  8. Remove from the oven. Drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a quick tzatziki sauce: Mix 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup grated cucumber (squeezed dry), 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Chill before serving.
  • You can use store-bought pita chips if you prefer to skip the baking step.
  • For extra flavor, toss the cooked chicken with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika before assembling.
  • If you want melted cheese, add a layer of shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack under the feta before the final bake.
