Greek-inspired “street food,” made easy at home. Oven-roasted, seasoned chicken tucked into warm pitas with all the extras — plus homemade fries — all cooked on one or two sheet pans. Prep is quick, cleanup is easy, and the end result is fun, flavorful, and perfect for a weeknight switch-up. Finish everything with creamy tzatziki and your favorite toppings. These Greek chicken pitas are so good.

You all know this, but I really love cooking for the people around me. If friends are over, I always want to know what they’re craving and what sounds best to them. And when I’m cooking for my mom, I already know her favorites — chili, chicken florentine, chicken soup, and beer bread.
On most normal weeks at home, I’m usually cooking for a mix of family members. Sometimes it’s all of my brothers, my sister, and a few friends, and other times it’s just my oldest brother, Creighton.

When everyone is here, it can get a little tricky because they all eat differently these days. Some don’t do dairy anymore, some are gluten-free, and half of them will eat literally anything. My dad and oldest brother, though? They want everything spicy.
But Greek food? That’s always a universally loved dinner in our house. Anything with tzatziki, fries, and naan-style pitas is right up everyone’s alley. I made these easy chicken pitas a few weeks ago when everyone was home, and they were a huge hit.

Ingredients
chicken breasts or thighs
full-fat plain Greek yogurt
olive oil
garlic
smoked paprika
dried oregano
curry powder
onion powder
chili flakes
kosher salt
black pepper
russet potatoes
fresh pitas or naan
tzatziki sauce
For Serving
pickled red onions
lettuce
fresh dill
fresh parsley
What you’ll need from the kitchen
You’ll just need a couple sheet pans, a mixing bowl, a knife and cutting board, a measuring set, and a spatula or tongs for tossing everything while it roasts.

Toss the sliced chicken with the Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, curry powder, onion powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. It’s quick, easy, and adds so much flavor.

Spread the chicken evenly on a sheet pan. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, toss, then return to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for 1–2 minutes until lightly charred and golden on the edges. Watch closely — it happens fast.

Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes, until crisp and golden. You can cook these alongside the chicken or on a separate sheet pan — I usually use two since I’m often doubling the recipe.
Warm the pitas, then fill with lettuce, fries, chicken, and plenty of creamy tzatziki. Add pickled onions and fresh herbs, and don’t be shy with extra tzatziki on top — it makes everything better.
