Juicy chicken and fresh herbs stuffed in warm pitas, served with a creamy Herby Ranch dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper (Adjust to taste for preferred spiciness)
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 lemon, sliced
  • 0.5 cup plain yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 0.25 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, minced
  • 0.5 lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 0.5 small head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 ripe avocado, cubed

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and olive oil. Mix well until every piece is evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned chicken on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss the lemon slices on top for added flavor. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly crisped on the edges.
  3. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the Herby Ranch dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt (or non-dairy alternative), fresh dill, fresh parsley, chives, lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, and a sprinkle of kosher salt. Stir until fully combined and creamy. Set aside in the fridge for flavors to meld.
  4. Combine the shredded cabbage and cubed avocado in a large bowl. Pour half of the Herby Ranch dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat.
  5. Once the chicken is roasted to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Stuff warm pita halves with the roasted chicken, topped generously with the cabbage slaw and a drizzle of the remaining Herby Ranch dressing.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
