Method
 

Roast Chicken & Veggies
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Prepare Herby Ranch Sauce
  1. While roasting, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Assemble Pitas
  1. Warm pita breads in the microwave, a dry skillet, or wrapped in foil in the oven during the last few minutes of chicken cooking.
  2. Fill each warm pita with roasted chicken and vegetables, drizzle generously with herby ranch sauce, and add optional toppings like chopped tomatoes, cucumber, or feta cheese before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before roasting. Adjust the amount of garlic and herbs in the ranch sauce to your preference. Leftover chicken and vegetables can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently. The herby ranch sauce will also keep well in the fridge for up to a week.
