Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts boneless, skinless, sliced thin
  • 4 pieces pita bread pocket style, medium size
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat for creamy sauce
  • ¼ cup fresh dill finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced, divided for marinade and sauce
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil for marinade
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked or sweet for color and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin warm, earthy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper divided, freshly ground
  • 2 cups lettuce shredded iceberg or romaine
  • 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken thinly and toss with olive oil, half the garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Allow the chicken to sit in the marinade for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  4. Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer on the prepared pan and roast for 12–15 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. While the chicken roasts, whisk together Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, remaining garlic, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  6. Let the roasted chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  7. Wrap the pita in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds until soft.
  8. Spread herby ranch inside each pita pocket, then fill with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, and cucumber.
  9. Drizzle additional herby ranch over the fillings and serve immediately while warm.
