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. Prep the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and olive oil. Toss well to coat each piece evenly, allowing the flavors to infuse as they marinate.
  2. Roast the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the marinated chicken on a baking sheet. Lay lemon slices on top for extra moisture and flavor. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly caramelized.
  3. Make the Herby Ranch Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix plain yogurt (or your chosen alternative) with dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with kosher salt to taste. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and creamy.
  4. Prepare the Slaw: In another bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and avocado. Drizzle with some of the herby ranch dressing and mix gently to combine.
  5. Assemble the Pitas: Once the chicken is ready, take a pita and fill it with a generous portion of roasted chicken, followed by a heap of avocado slaw. Drizzle more herby ranch on top for that extra splash of flavor.

Notes

These Chicken Pitas pair beautifully with sweet potato fries or a refreshing cucumber salad.
