so I love chicken pitas. And while these ones continue to be my favorite to make for dinner, I make these for lunch quite often. Fast and easy and delicious. However, I did make these for dinner last night since I hadn't been to the grocery store yet. This isn't so much a recipe....just an idea. They are healthy and delicious.
Ingredients:
Shredded Chicken (I like to cook some chicken in the crockpot in the beginning of the week, cook with chicken broth so doesn't dry out, and shred and season with salt and pepper, so I can enjoy these pitas all week)
Any veggies - included but not limited to - bell peppers, greens, tomatoes
avocado (not pictured because I was out, but usually a staple)
feta cheese (although shredded monterrey jack tastes great too)
vinaigrette dressing - my personal fave (sorry Utah peeps) is Trader Joe's Cranberry Walnut Gorgonzola dressing. It really makes the pitas and it is surprisingly low on calories.
I like to drizzle the dressing on the shredded chicken, top with veggies, drizzle more dressing, and top with avocado slices and cheese.
This has also become a favorite of mine for lunch time with that same dressing. I love stuffing the pita with spinach and veggies - and I think I got the idea from you, but I add thinly sliced apples and it's delish!
