Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (They roast quickly and slice beautifully for stuffing pitas.)
1 tablespoon olive oil (Helps the chicken and vegetables brown and keeps everything juicy.)
to taste salt and pepper (Essential for seasoning and bringing out natural flavors.)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (Gives a warm, savory backbone without overpowering.)
1 teaspoon paprika (Adds color and a subtle smoky sweetness.)
1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini) (A colorful mix that roasts into tender, caramelized bites.)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (The creamy base for the herby ranch, tangy and smooth.)
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (All the classic ranch flavors concentrated for convenience.)
to taste fresh herbs (parsley, dill) (Bright, aromatic, and they lift the whole dish.)
4 pieces pitas (Soft or slightly toasted to cradle the filling.)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the chicken breasts, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl until well coated.
Spread the chicken on a sheet pan. Add your mixed vegetables around the chicken.
Roast everything in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
While that’s cooking, mix the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, and fresh herbs in a small bowl to make your herby ranch.
Once cooked, slice the chicken and stuff it into the pitas with the roasted veggies. Drizzle with the herby ranch before serving!
