Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) and prepare a large sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, olive oil, and lemon slices until well-coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned chicken mixture evenly onto the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes. Toss and roast for an additional 4 to 7 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. While chicken roasts, whisk together yogurt, fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Fold in the chopped cabbage and let it rest.
  5. Warm the pitas in the oven during the last few minutes of chicken roasting or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  6. Fill the warm pitas with the herby slaw and roasted chicken, adding sliced avocado if desired. Serve immediately.
