    Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas with Tzatziki

    Favorite thing I’ve been eating lately: these sheet pan chicken pitas.

    A plate of chicken, red bell peppers, cucumber, and tzatziki sauce with a lemon wedge.

    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.

    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

    UnitsScale

    Chicken:

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

    Peppers:

    • 23 bell peppers, sliced
    • olive oil and salt

    Tzatziki:

    • 3/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
    • 1/2 cup grated cucumber (about one half of a large cucumber)
    • 12 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 12 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 small clove garlic, grated
    • 1 teaspoon dried dill
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • pepper to taste

    Other:

    • diced cucumbers
    • diced red onion
    • kalamata olives
    • feta cheese
    • 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.
