Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, coat the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl with the chicken, tossing everything together.
Spread the chicken and vegetables in an even layer on the sheet pan.
Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While everything is baking, prepare the herby ranch dressing by combining Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and fresh herbs in a bowl.
Warm the pitas in the oven for the last 5 minutes of the cooking time.
Once everything is ready, slice the chicken and stuff it into the warmed pitas along with the roasted vegetables and drizzle with herby ranch dressing.
