Ingredients
  

For the Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red onion cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Herby Ranch
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp milk any kind, to thin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pinch black pepper
For Serving
  • 4 pita breads warmed
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese optional
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Prep & Preheat
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and zucchini.
Season & Roast
  1. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp. You can stir halfway through cooking for even browning.
Prepare Herby Ranch
  1. While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the herby ranch. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), fresh dill, chives, parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more milk.
Assemble & Serve
  1. Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Briefly warm the pita breads according to package instructions (you can do this in the microwave, toaster, or wrap in foil and place in the oven for the last 5 minutes of cooking).
  2. To assemble, open each warm pita and fill generously with the roasted chicken and vegetables. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese (if using). Drizzle generously with the fresh herby ranch dressing. Garnish with extra fresh parsley or dill, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, you can store the cooked chicken and veggies separately from the ranch dressing and pita breads. Reheat chicken and veggies, then assemble. The herby ranch can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
