Description

Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas with Tzatziki is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that combines tender, flavorful chicken, roasted peppers, and creamy tzatziki sauce all wrapped in warm flatbread. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or casual gathering with friends and family.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into very thin strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • black pepper to taste

Peppers:

  • 2-3 bell peppers, sliced
  • olive oil and salt

Tzatziki:

  • 3/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber (give them a quick squeeze over the sink to get rid of extra water)
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • pepper to taste

Other:

  • 1 diced cucumber
  • 1/2 diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 6 pieces of some kind of flatbread (pita, naan, socca)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix chicken ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Mix all tzatziki ingredients.
  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.
  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.
