Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas with Herby Ranch are filled with juicy roasted chicken, tender vegetables, and a creamy herby ranch dressing for an easy weeknight dinner.
2 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)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
fresh herbs (parsley, dill) to taste
4 pitas
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it is fully heated and ready for roasting. A hot oven helps the chicken cook evenly and gives the vegetables better color.
Step 2:
Step 3: Season the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated on all sides.
Step 4:
Step 5: Arrange on the pan
Spread the seasoned chicken and mixed vegetables on a sheet pan in a single layer. Keep the vegetables in even-sized pieces so everything roasts evenly.
Step 6:
Step 7: Roast the chicken and vegetables
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender with lightly browned edges.
Step 8:
Step 9: Make the herby ranch
While the chicken bakes, stir together Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, and fresh herbs in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Step 10:
Step 11: Warm the pitas
Place the pitas in the oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking so they warm through and become soft and flexible.
Step 12:
Step 13: Rest and slice the chicken
Let the chicken rest for 3 to 5 minutes after baking, then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces to keep it juicy.

Step 15: Assemble and serve
Fill each warm pita with sliced chicken and roasted vegetables, then drizzle with the herby ranch and serve right away.
