1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 lemon, sliced

1/2 cup plain yogurt or non-dairy alternative

1/4 cup dill, finely chopped

2 tbsp chives, minced

Juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425º F, preferably on convection mode.

2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, kosher salt, and olive oil. Add lemon slices and toss again.

3. Spread the chicken on a sheet pan without overcrowding.

4. Bake for 15 minutes, toss, then bake an additional 4-7 minutes until crisp and caramelized.

5. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to make the slaw. Add shredded cabbage and toss. Let sit 10-15 minutes.

6. Warm the pitas. Stuff each with slaw, chicken, and cubed avocado. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, garnish with additional fresh herbs.

Adjust cayenne for desired spiciness.

This recipe stores well for meal prep; keep chicken and slaw separate in the fridge.

Use high-quality sheet pan for even baking.
