#### Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
Start by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
#### Step 2: Prepare the Veggies
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly charred. Set aside to cool.
#### Step 4: Make the Tzatziki Sauce
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy, and adjust seasoning to taste. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add more yogurt, or for a tangier kick, add a bit more lemon juice.
#### Step 5: Assemble the Naan Pizzas
Place the naan bread on a baking sheet. If you like a crispier crust, lightly toast the naan in the oven for about 3-5 minutes before adding toppings. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each piece of naan, making sure to cover the entire surface.
#### Step 7: Bake the Naan Pizzas
Place the assembled naan pizzas in the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan are golden brown.
