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
  • 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 your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss the chicken, peppers, and onion with olive oil and seasonings on a large sheet pan. Spread everything out in a single layer.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
  4. Whisk together all the herby ranch ingredients in a bowl while the chicken is roasting. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add milk to reach your desired consistency. Chill the dressing in the fridge until ready to use.
  5. Warm the pitas by wrapping them in foil and heating in the oven for 5 minutes (optional).
  6. Slice each pita in half to make pockets or leave them whole and fold.
  7. Stuff each pita with lettuce, chicken + veggies, tomato, and any optional toppings. Drizzle generously with herby ranch before serving.

Notes

Make sure to cut chicken and veggies into uniform sizes for even cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra flavor.
