Description

Juicy spiced chicken and roasted veggies come together on one pan, then get stuffed into warm pitas with a cool, homemade herby ranch sauce for the ultimate easy, flavor-packed dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 tbsp milk (to thin)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (or green onion)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 pitas (pocket or flatbread style)
1 cup shredded lettuce or greens
1 tomato, sliced
Optional toppings: feta cheese, pickled onions, cucumber, hot sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. On a large sheet pan, toss chicken, peppers, and onion with olive oil and seasonings. Spread in a single layer.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
  4. While chicken roasts, whisk together all herby ranch ingredients in a bowl. Chill until ready.
  5. Warm pitas (optional: wrap in foil and heat in oven for 5 minutes).
  6. Slice pitas in half for pockets or leave whole. Stuff with lettuce, chicken + veggies, tomato, and toppings. Drizzle with herby ranch.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs are more flavorful and forgiving than breasts.
  • The herby ranch sauce can be made 2 days ahead for better flavor.
  • For a DIY dinner party, set up a pita bar with all components in separate bowls.
  • Store components separately to prevent soggy leftovers.
