Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 pieces warm pita breads
  • 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, and red onion to the bowl and toss until everything is thoroughly coated in the marinade.

  4. 4

    Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single, even layer across the prepared sheet pan.

  5. 5

    Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    During the last 2 minutes of roasting, wrap the pita breads in foil and place them in the oven to warm up.

  7. 7

    Remove the pan from the oven and give the chicken and vegetables a quick toss to distribute the pan juices.

  8. 8

    Serve the roasted chicken and peppers inside the warm pitas, topped with a dollop of tzatziki sauce if desired.
