Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups bell peppers, sliced (any color)
1 cup red onion, sliced
4 whole wheat pita breads
1 cup lettuce, shredded
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup herby ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of a large baking sheet.
On the other side of the baking sheet, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
While the chicken rests, warm the pita breads in the oven for about 5 minutes.
In each warm pita, layer shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, roasted vegetables, and cherry tomatoes.
Top with a generous drizzle of herby ranch dressing.
Enjoy your delicious sheet pan chicken pitas warm!
