Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 pieces Chicken Breast a lean protein that can be grilled or roasted for the best flavor.

For the Pitas

4 pieces Pita Bread the perfect vessel for filling, but feel free to swap for lettuce for a low-carb option.

For the Slaw

1 cup Ranch Dressing adds creaminess and tang; Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier substitute.
2 cups Cabbage (Green or Red) brings crunch to your slaw; using a pre-packaged coleslaw mix saves time.
1 cup Carrots contributes natural sweetness and texture; bell peppers are a tasty alternative.
1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill, etc.) elevate the flavor of the slaw.
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice brightens the flavors; vinegar can step in if you’re out of lemon.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Chicken: Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Season chicken breasts with spices and grill/roast for about 6-7 minutes per side, until 165°F. Slice into thin strips.
Make the Slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped herbs. Pour in ranch dressing and mix until well-combined.
Assemble Pitas: Open each pita to create a pocket. Add a layer of sliced chicken followed by a generous portion of herby ranch slaw.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or store chicken and slaw separately until serving.
