Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and salt. Add chicken and olive oil and toss to coat. Add lemon slices and toss gently.
- Spread chicken and lemon slices in a single layer on the sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes without stirring, then toss and roast another 5-7 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and has caramelized edges.
- While the chicken roasts, whisk together yogurt, dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a large bowl. Add thinly sliced cabbage and toss to coat. Let rest 10-15 minutes.
- Warm pita pockets in the microwave 20-30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel. Cut open each pita pocket.
- Stuff each pita with a generous amount of slaw, then chicken pieces and sliced avocado. Drizzle with pan juices and optional hot sauce or feta.
Notes
One-pan chicken roasting makes cleanup easy. The slaw is flavorful and fresh, and leftovers can be stored separately. Customize heat level and toppings for picky eaters or dietary preferences.
