Directions
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Whisk the zest of a lemon into the plain Greek yogurt in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Mince the garlic and in a separate bowl whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl with the citrus-oil mixture; toss to coat.
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into half-moons and add to the bowl; toss well.
- Peel, trim, and cut the red onion into thick wedges and add to the bowl; toss to coat.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a baking sheet in a single layer and roast 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are fork-tender.
- Thinly slice the cucumber and place in another bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper; shave cilantro leaves from stems, mince, and fold half into the cucumber bowl while reserving the rest for garnish.
- Toast the pitas if you like, then open each pita to make a pocket.
- To serve, spread lemon yogurt on each pita, fill with the roasted chicken and vegetables, top with cucumber and the remaining cilantro, and divide between plates.
Two tips
- Make-ahead: mix the yogurt with lemon zest earlier and refrigerate up to 1 day.
- Serving idea: swap cucumber for chopped lettuce in the pita for extra crunch.
