Creating Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas with Fresh Herb Ranch Slaw is a cinch when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chicken on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake Chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
