1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 tbsp milk (to thin)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
4 pitas (pocket or flatbread style)
1 cup shredded lettuce or greens

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
On a large sheet pan, toss chicken, peppers, and onion with olive oil and seasonings.
Spread everything out in a single layer.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
While the chicken is roasting, whisk together all the herby ranch ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add milk to reach desired consistency.
Chill in fridge until ready to use.
Warm the pitas (optional: wrap in foil and heat in oven for 5 minutes).
Slice each pita in half to make pockets, or leave whole and fold.

Drizzle generously with herby ranch.
