Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
4. While the chicken marinates, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
5. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone and spread a thin layer of tzatziki sauce over the base.
6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken pieces for about 5-7 minutes, until cooked through.
7. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and fresh spinach over the pizza.
