On a large sheet pan, toss the chicken, sliced peppers, and onion with olive oil and the seasonings.

Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
While the chicken is roasting, whisk together all the herby ranch ingredients in a bowl.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add milk to reach your desired consistency.
Chill in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
If desired, warm the pitas by wrapping them in foil and heating them in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Slice each pita in half to make pockets, or leave them whole and fold.
