Chicken Pitas with Herby Ranch Slaw are a fresh and flavorful meal featuring seasoned pan-cooked chicken tucked into warm pitas and topped with a creamy, herb-packed ranch slaw.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cups shredded cabbage (green, purple, or mix)

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayo

2 tablespoons ranch dressing

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 pita pockets

Optional toppings: sliced cucumber, tomato, or avocado

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  2. Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts and let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped parsley, and chopped cilantro.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, ranch dressing, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until well coated. Adjust seasoning if needed and set aside.
  6. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  7. Remove chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  8. Warm the pita pockets in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes until soft.
  9. Fill each pita with sliced chicken and a generous amount of herby ranch slaw.
  10. Add optional toppings if desired and serve immediately.
