Er, can we call them pitas? They are part bowl, part salad, part sandwich folded up into any kind of bread you like including but not limited to pitas, and I’m here for it in every form.
Here’s our lineup:
- marinated, spiced, flash-roasted chicken
- roasted bell peppers
- diced fresh cucumber
- kalamata olives
- feta cheese
- olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice
- tzatziki (that yogurt dill sauce that crowns the plate)
Pile that on a plate and grab a fork – or grab a piece of warm, soft naan, or pita, or socca (YUM), and get to work. You’ve got the crunchy, and the cool-creamy, and the puckery-briney all happening in one big joyful bite.
How To Serve Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas
Here’s how I like to serve this: family style!
Everything goes on a roasting pan, and you effortlessly carry your gourmet-looking roasting pan to the table, and you let your people feast.
It’s comforting and filling. But it’s also happy and crunchy and fresh, which is exactly what we need right now in the deep winter. Happy, fresh, filling, annnd go.
Ingredients
other
- 1 diced cucumber
- 6 pieces of some kind of flatbread (pita, naan, socca)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 diced red onion
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
peppers
- olive oil and salt
- 23 bell peppers, sliced
chicken
- 12 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into very thin strips
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
tzatziki
- 12 tablespoons lemon juice
- 12 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated cucumber (give them a quick squeeze over the sink to get rid of extra water)
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 small clove garlic, grated
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix chicken ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Mix all tzatziki ingredients.
Step 3
On a sheet pan, toss the peppers with olive oil and salt. On a second sheet pan, place the chicken pieces. Roast both for 10-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked and peppers are browned.
Step 4
Serve chicken, peppers, sauce, and all the other fixings on a big platter (or just a sheet pan, really) and everyone can build their own pitas / bowls / salads. So much salty-briney-crunchy goodness.
Editor's Note:
Store bought tzatziki also works great in this recipe to save you a few steps!
