Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1/2 small head green cabbage, shredded
  • 2–3 pitas
  • 1 ripe avocado, cubed

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and olive oil. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly on the prepared sheet pan and place the lemon slices on top.

2. Pop the sheet pan into the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and lightly browned.

3. While the chicken is baking, whisk together the yogurt, dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the shredded cabbage and toss until everything is well coated.

4. Warm the pitas if desired, then fill them with the baked chicken, herby ranch slaw, and cubed avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy!
