Mediterranean-style chicken is stuffed into pita pockets with veggies and a delicious homemade yogurt sauce. This sheet pan meal is done in just 30 minutes!
We're tossing spiced chicken and veggies on one sheet pan, roasting until juicy and caramelized, then stuffing everything into warm pita pockets with a creamy yogurt sauce. It's bold, fresh, and perfect for weeknights, meal prep, and picky eaters who magically love anything in a pita.

Ingredients
See the recipe card below for quantities and remaining ingredients.
Variations
- You can skip the pita sandwich and eat everything over lettuce or make them into bowls by serving them over rice or quinoa. Top with yogurt sauce and hot sauce!
- Switch up the filling. You can add lettuce to the wraps or kalamata olives. Chickpeas and feta cheese would also be great additions.
- In place of the chicken, you can use steak, lamb or even shrimp!
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the chicken with the marinade ingredients and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Add everything to a sheet pan and bake until the chicken is cooked through. Assemble the Greek chicken pita wraps by filling them with chicken, veggies, yogurt sauce and hot sauce.
Sarah's Top Tips
- If you want juicier and more flavorful chicken, I highly recommend marinating for longer than 30 minutes. Anywhere from 2-3 hours to overnight will give you the best results.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It needs to be 165 degrees F.
- I recommend using warm pita bread in this recipe. Heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or put them in the oven for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Use store-bought tzatziki sauce to save time!
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sheet pan chicken pita pockets with the creamy dill yogurt sauce or make the homemade tzatziki sauce that I use on Greek turkey meatballs.
If you're serving these for a casual dinner or a crowd, I like pairing them with something bright and fresh (like roasted sweet potato salad) or a classic cookout side (hello, no-mayo potato salad). If you're leaning into comfort food, air fryer frozen seasoned fries turn this into a full-on pita night situation.
Storage & Reheating
- Store all of the ingredients in separate containers. They will keep fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- To reheat the next day, simply microwave the chicken and vegetables for a few minutes before adding to the warm pitas.
- Freeze the chicken for about 3 months in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
