1 medium red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Herby Ranch:
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
To Assemble:
4 pitas, warmed if desired
Shredded lettuce or mixed greens
1–2 slices tomato

Instructions
1. Prepare the Herby Ranch:
Whisk together all herby ranch ingredients in a bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the chicken and veggies.
2. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
3. Prepare the Chicken & Veggies:
On a large sheet pan, toss chicken strips, sliced peppers, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
Spread in a single layer.
4. Roast:
Roast in preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
5. Assemble Pitas:
Slice pitas in half or keep whole.
Fill with shredded lettuce, roasted chicken and vegetables, tomato slices, and drizzle with herby ranch.
Add optional toppings as desired.
Notes
Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for juicier meat.
Roast veggies evenly by slicing peppers and onions to similar sizes.
Make herby ranch ahead to save time.
Great for meal prep; store components separately and assemble before serving.
