Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini)
Herby Ranch Sauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- Fresh herbs (parsley, dill), to taste
Additional
- 4 pieces pitas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and vegetables.
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika ensuring they are evenly coated for flavor and browning.
- Arrange on sheet pan: Spread the seasoned chicken and mixed vegetables in a single layer on a sheet pan to encourage even roasting.
- Bake until cooked through: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, checking that the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
- Prepare the herby ranch sauce: While baking, combine Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, and fresh chopped herbs like parsley and dill in a bowl, mixing well for a creamy and aromatic dressing.
- Warm the pitas: During the last 5 minutes of baking, place the pitas in the oven to warm them up, making them soft and pliable for stuffing.
- Slice and assemble: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest 3-5 minutes, then slice it. Stuff the warm pitas with chicken, roasted vegetables, and drizzle with the herby ranch sauce for a delicious, ready-to-eat meal.
Notes
- Let the chicken rest 3 to 5 minutes after removing it from the oven to allow juices to redistribute, keeping it moist and flavorful.
- For extra flavor, consider drizzling honey or a splash of barbecue sauce on the vegetables before roasting.
- If the pitas become soggy, lightly toast them before stuffing to restore texture and crispness.
