  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss chicken, peppers, and onion with olive oil and seasonings on a sheet pan. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked and veggies are tender.
  2. Whisk together all herby ranch ingredients in a bowl. Adjust seasoning and milk for consistency. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Warm pitas (optional: wrap in foil and heat 5 minutes). Slice for pockets or leave whole. Stuff with lettuce, chicken + veggies, tomato, optional toppings, and drizzle with herby ranch.

Notes

  • Meal Prep: Store chicken/veggie mix and sauce separately in fridge up to 4 days.
  • Make it spicy: Add hot sauce or crushed red pepper to ranch or chicken.
  • No pita? Serve over rice or salad greens.
  • Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken and toss with spices for quicker option.
