Method
 

Cook Chicken
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned.
Prepare Slaw
  1. While the chicken cooks, prepare the slaw by combining coleslaw mix, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Stir everything together until the coleslaw is well coated with the dressing.
Assemble Pitas
  1. Warm the pita breads according to package instructions.
  2. Fill each warm pita with the cooked chicken and a generous amount of the fresh herb ranch slaw.
  3. Optionally, add diced tomatoes and sliced cucumbers for extra freshness.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning. You can also toast the pitas lightly in the oven for a crispier texture. This recipe is easily customizable with your favorite fresh herbs or vegetables.
