32 Comforting Weeknight Dinners.

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.

Hey Holly,
Thanks for giving this recipe a whirl, I’m so glad it turned out nicely! Stay warm!
Potatoes need a longer cooking time than chicken. Cut chicken to bite sized pieces. Overall very flavorfu. My husband really liked it. Enough for leftovers.
Hey Beth,

Made this and honestly it fell flat for me. The seasoning felt odd and uneven — the curry and smoked paprika just didn’t work together and overpowered everything else. It felt messy instead of flavorful. Thought the Greek-inspired concept would be better executed.
Hi Rita,
Thanks for trying the recipe and your comment, sorry to hear it was not enjoyed. Have a great week!
The curry & paprika was a bit much to me
Hi Colleen,
Thanks for making this recipe and sharing your comment, very sorry to hear it was not enjoyed!
I made this delicious dish Monday night. My husband and I had it on Tuesday night as leftovers and then again for lunch on Thursday. The spice mix of the chicken was phenomenal. You can’t substitute the spices. The curry really makes it. One of the best meals I’ve had.
Thanks so much, Juraye! I am so glad your family enjoyed this recipe! I appreciate you making it and your feedback!
Not very tasty for me.
Sorry to hear this, Ezra. If there is anything that I can help with, please let me know!
Way too much smoked paprika, it overpowered the entire dish.
Hi Hailey,

I love this dish – super easy and tasty… lots of “bang for the buck”! I roast cherry tomatoes on the pan with the chicken and stuff those in the na’an too. Fries on the side for me. 😊
Hey Nancie,
Wonderful! I appreciate you trying this recipe and your feedback, so glad to hear it was enjoyed!

Not my fav unfortunately!
Made this last night and it was fabulous! I don’t eat meat but hubby and mother ate the chicken and loved it as well. Will be making again and again.
