Lemon Pepper Chicken Pitas – Easy to make and family-approved, these delicious chicken pitas blend bright Middle Eastern flavors and mild spices with the satisfying crunch of fresh veggies.
When my sisters and I were kids, it was inevitable that somewhere between 2-3pm we would ask my mom that ever-important question, “What’s for dinner tonight?” Now, my mom is a pretty good cook, so our responses generally leaned toward the positive. Of course, each of us had our own food idiosyncrasies. For instance, I HATE lima beans and my youngest sister finds lasagna unbearable (weirdo).
One of the meals that I particularly loved was chicken pitas. My mom would execute it with various dressings, marinades, and fillings, but it always ended in something delicious. And I’m pretty sure that a love for chicken pitas was a sentiment shared by all.
Twenty years later, my kid agrees that chicken pitas are pretty awesome. Today’s recipe for Lemon Pepper Chicken Pitas is uniquely my own, and at first I thought he might be turned off by some of the Middle Eastern flavors that are involved in this dish. Thankfully, that’s not the case at all! He loves the tender chicken and crunchy vegetables, not to mention the fact that I allow him to assemble his own pita. As such, I’ve made this recipe numerous times this summer and there have been no complaints from the peanut gallery. Another generation of chicken pita lovers lives on!
To speed up the time it took to make the salad, I used my trusty, economical, and very sharp mandoline that I purchased on Amazon. You can find it here: http://amzn.to/2aWav43
I also used a Cut-Resistant Glove for operating the mandoline. No cuts or tears here! http://amzn.to/2b67tuG
