How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas with Herby Ranch
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to crisp up the chicken and vegetables.
Combine the chicken: Toss the cut chicken pieces with olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the chicken and veggies on a sheet pan, spreading the seasoned chicken in a single layer with lemon wedges, bell pepper strips, zucchini rounds, and red onion wedges.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and veggies are tender.
Mix the herby ranch dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, dill, and parsley until smooth.
Serve by warming the pitas and assembling with roasted chicken, veggies, and herby ranch dressing.
Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan for best results.
