Description

This Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas with Herby Ranch recipe is a delicious, one-pan dinner idea featuring juicy chicken, roasted vegetables, and a fresh, homemade ranch dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 pita breads
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or buttermilk
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Slice the chicken thighs and mix them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Slice bell peppers and red onion, and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper as well.
  4. Spread chicken and veggies on the sheet pan in an even layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender and slightly charred.
  5. While it roasts, whisk together Greek yogurt or buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and dill in a bowl to make the herby ranch.
  6. Warm pita breads slightly before assembling.
