Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized 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 pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced

For the Herby Ranch Slaw:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 small head green cabbage, shredded
  • 23 pita pockets
  • 1 avocado, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Toss chicken with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, olive oil, and lemon slices. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes, toss, then roast another 4–7 minutes.
  3. Make the Herby Ranch Slaw: Whisk yogurt, dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Add cabbage and toss. Let rest for 10–15 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Pitas: Warm pita pockets, fill with slaw, chicken, and avocado. Serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, broil chicken for 1–2 minutes at the end for deeper caramelization.
  • You can substitute naan or flatbread for pita, or serve as a salad bowl with extra slaw.
