Everything cooks together on one pan, which makes cleanup easy, and the warm pita filled with juicy chicken and cool herby ranch always hits the spot. I often make this for busy weeknights when I want something comforting but not heavy.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the sheet pan chicken:

Boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Paprika
Dried oregano
Salt
Black pepper
Red onion
Bell peppers

For serving:

Pita bread
Shredded lettuce
Cherry tomatoes
Cucumber

For the herby ranch:

Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Garlic
Fresh parsley
Fresh dill
Fresh chives
Salt
Black pepper

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a sheet pan with parchment paper. I slice the chicken into strips and toss it with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. I spread the chicken on the pan along with sliced red onion and bell peppers.

I roast everything for about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly caramelized.

While the chicken cooks, I make the herby ranch by mixing yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped herbs until smooth. I season it with salt and pepper and chill it until ready to use.

To assemble, I warm the pitas slightly, then fill them with roasted chicken and vegetables. I add fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber, and finish with a generous drizzle of herby ranch.

Variations

I sometimes swap chicken for shrimp or chickpeas for a different protein. When I want extra spice, I add chili flakes or cayenne to the seasoning. I also enjoy turning this into a bowl by serving everything over rice instead of pita.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, I warm them in the oven or a skillet to keep the texture intact. I store the herby ranch separately and add it fresh when serving. Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas With Herby Ranch
