How to Make For Pitas Sake Parmesan Chicken

**Prepare the Veggie Mix:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill while preparing other ingredients.
**Prepare the Chicken:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
