This grilled chicken and vegetable pizza is a delicious fusion of refined Mediterranean flavours and classic, rustic pizza.

Each bite is an explosion of flavours and textures that will delight your taste buds.
CHEF’S SECRET
For an even crispier crust, pre-bake the pita bread in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the toppings. This ensures that the bruschetta doesn’t make the pizza soggy.
For an even richer flavour, use grilled or roasted chicken from the previous day. Leftover chicken is perfect for this recipe, as it will absorb the flavours of the bruschetta.
Although this recipe uses Greek pita breads, you can experiment with different types of bread. Naan bread or a traditional pizza base can lend the dish an entirely new flavour and texture.
If you’re making your own bruschetta, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano for a more intense flavor. A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes can also add a bit of heat for those who enjoy spicy dishes.
This pizza pairs well with a crunchy green salad or a creamy soup. For a full culinary experience, serve it with a glass of chilled rosé wine or a light blonde beer.
