# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange the seasoned chicken on one half of the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
04 - In a separate bowl, toss the red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the other half of the sheet pan.
05 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
06 - While the chicken and vegetables roast, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
07 - Warm the pita breads in the oven for 2–3 minutes or in a dry skillet until pliable.
08 - Fill each pita with lettuce, roasted chicken, vegetables, a drizzle of herby ranch, and a sprinkle of feta cheese. Serve immediately while warm.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Everything roasts on one pan so cleanup is almost nonexistent
  • The herby ranch sauce makes people ask if you have a secret recipe
  • Chicken thighs stay juicy even after high heat roasting
02 -
  • Crowding the sheet pan will steam the ingredients instead of roasting them so use two pans if needed
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after roasting so the juices redistribute
  • The ranch sauce tastes better if it sits for at least 15 minutes before serving
03 -
  • Cut chicken and vegetables into uniform pieces so everything roasts evenly
  • Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or you will regret it later
