Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
On a large sheet pan, toss the chicken strips with sliced peppers and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Spread the mixture evenly on the pan and roast for 20–25 minutes until cooked through.
While roasting, whisk together mayonnaise (or yogurt), milk, chopped herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the herby ranch dressing.
Warm pitas in foil for about 5 minutes if desired.
Assemble by stuffing each pita with lettuce, roasted chicken mixture, tomatoes, and drizzle with dressing.
