Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients while the oven warms up.
  2. In a bowl, mix the chicken, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and smoked paprika. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare bell peppers by cutting them into strips, then toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the marinated chicken on the sheet pan and nestle the bell peppers around it. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine grated cucumber, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make tzatziki.
  6. Once cooked, assemble by filling warm pita bread with chicken, roasted peppers, and tzatziki. Add garnishes as desired.

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer for optimal flavor. Avoid burnt edges by cutting veggies uniformly. Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
