Ingredients

1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts or Thighs (bite-sized strips)
2 Bell Peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, sliced)
1 medium Red Onion (sliced)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Spices: Garlic powder, Paprika, Oregano, Cumin, Chili flakes, Salt/Pepper
Ranch Base: 0.5 cup Mayo + 0.5 cup Sour Cream/Yogurt
Herbs: Fresh Parsley, Dill, Chives
Liquid: 2 tbsp Milk + 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Serving: 4 Pitas, Lettuce, Tomato
Optional: Feta, pickled onions, cucumber

Instructions

1

Oven Setup: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to preheat properly.
2

Make Herby Ranch: Combine the herby ranch components in a bowl, whisking until smooth. Adjust the salt and pepper as needed, then let it chill in the refrigerator.
3

Season the Sheet Pan: Place the chicken strips, bell peppers, and red onion on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, and chili flakes. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
4

Roast: Spread the mixture into a single layer on the pan. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the ingredients halfway through until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
5

Assemble: Slice the pitas. Fill with shredded lettuce, the warm roasted chicken and vegetables, and tomato slices. Drizzle generously with the chilled herby ranch.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use Greek Yogurt instead of Sour Cream? Absolutely! Using Greek yogurt in the ranch sauce is a great way to add extra protein and a slightly sharper tang. It keeps the recipe in the "Good Healthy Dinners" category.

How do I prevent the chicken from drying out? The key is cutting the chicken into even, bite-sized strips so they cook at the same rate as the peppers. Also, don't skip the olive oil toss—it creates a moisture barrier during the high-heat roasting.

What is the best way to warm the pitas? You can wrap the pitas in foil and pop them into the oven during the last 5 minutes of roasting, or char them quickly over an open gas flame for a smoky flavor.
