Crafting your own Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas might seem daunting, but these simple steps will have you whipping them up in no time:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Chicken Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes if you have time.
3. Arrange Vegetables: Once the chicken is marinated, place it on one side of the sheet pan. Add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes on the other side.
4. Roast Ingredients: Roast everything in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
5. Make Herby Ranch: While the chicken and veggies are baking, prepare the herby ranch by mixing Greek yogurt, fresh dill, chives, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
6. Assemble Pitas: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Slice the chicken into strips and fill each pita with chicken, roasted vegetables, and a generous drizzle of herby ranch.
7. Optional Lettuce Layer: If preferred, add a layer of lettuce inside the pita for extra crunch.
With these steps, your amazing sheet pan chicken pitas are ready to be served!
