Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat
- Spread the mixture on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender

- Warm pita bread in the microwave or oven just before serving
- Assemble pitas with the roasted chicken and veggies, top with herby slaw, and sprinkle with feta if desired
- Serve immediately
