Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is well-coated.
- Slice the bell peppers and red onions into thin strips.
- Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
- While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven.
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs to create the herby ranch dressing.
- Once the chicken and veggies are done, remove them from the oven. Fill each warm pita with a generous portion of the roasted chicken and vegetables, and drizzle with the herby ranch dressing.
- Enjoy your Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas With Herby Ranch warm, and add extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon for brightness!
