Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced

Herby Ranch Slaw:

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 cup dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp chives, minced
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/2 small head green cabbage, shredded

Additional Ingredients:

  • 2–3 pitas
  • 1 ripe avocado, cubed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven

    2. Set your oven to 425º F, preferably on convection mode, to ensure even cooking.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the chicken

    3. In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, kosher salt, and olive oil. Add lemon slices and toss to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3: Spread the chicken

    4. Spread the seasoned chicken onto a sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding for even browning.

  4. Step 4: Bake the chicken

    5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Toss halfway through and continue baking for 4-7 minutes until caramelized and crispy.

  5. Step 5: Prepare the Herby Ranch Slaw

    6. Mix yogurt, dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. Add cabbage, toss, and let sit for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.

  6. Step 6: Assemble the pitas

    7. Warm pitas, fill with Herby Ranch Slaw, chicken, and avocado cubes.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken overnight for enhanced flavor.
  • Allow the slaw to rest for 10-15 minutes to develop flavors.
  • Toast pitas for extra crispness before assembling, if desired.
