Equipment

  • Large sheet pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Knife + cutting board
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Chicken & Vegetables

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Herby Ranch

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chives, chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Pitas

  • 4 soft pita pockets or flatbreads

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line sheet pan with parchment.
  • Prepare chicken & veggies: Toss chicken and vegetables with olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on sheet pan.
  • Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender with crisp edges.
  • Make ranch: While roasting, whisk together yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, garlic, dill, parsley, and chives. Season to taste.
  • Warm pitas: Heat pita pockets in oven or skillet until soft.
  • Assemble: Fill pitas with roasted chicken and veggies. Drizzle with herby ranch.
  • Garnish: Add extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Marinate chicken up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Storage: Store cooked chicken and veggies separately from ranch and pitas.
  • Reheating: Use oven or air fryer for best texture.
  • Avoid mistakes: Don’t overcrowd the pan, and always chill ranch until serving.
  • Variations: Add feta, olives, or pickled onions for a Greek twist; swap ranch for tzatziki or tahini.
  • Nutrition: High in protein and fiber; make low-carb by skipping pita; add avocado or hummus for healthy fats.
