got the original idea from sam the cooking guy. it’s super tasty no matter what toppings you add to it… a couple lessons learned from it though:

  1. if buying a 1 pound dough ball from the store, definitely take it out of the fridge to get to room temp — it’ll help the process of stretching it out
  2. actually, if you’re using a large sheet pan, definitely get 2 pounds of dough to properly stretch it to the edges. made that mistake and had to downgrade to the smaller sheet pan

the only tough part about this recipe is having to grate the cheese block, which is preferred. i guess if you get pre-shredded cheese, it won’t melt as nice and you’ll get clumpage.

i’ve never used yogurt in cooking until this recipe. yogurt marinates chicken really well.

i’m a big fan of mediterranean-style chicken and all these ingredients come together to bring the taste of those well-known restaurants home

also, while chicken breast is an easy recipe base to start from, it gets boring. the yogurt prevents it from getting dry on the grill, which is one of my biggest complaints about cooking chicken breast (my least favorite cut of poultry)
