peeeta! as in greek chicken and veggies pita

ok.  i couldn't resist.

these pita pockets turned out SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!  and this is the only picture i have since i scarfed it down in 0.3 seconds.

here's what i did.

made the pita pockets from here.  making the dough in the bread maker.  makes everyone's life better by doing so-me thinks.

while the pitas were cooking i cut up two chicken breasts into chunks with approx. 2 tbsp olive oil on med. heat in a large pan. seasoned with salt, pepper, allspice, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, and drizzled some lemon juice over top.  I just eye balled it.  whatever looked good :} i let the chicken sizzle for a bit then covered to retain moisture.  meanwhile i cut up a carrot, stalk of celery, 1/4 of a red and green pepper and dumped them in with the chicken.  i let them simmer without covering for a few minutes, then a few covered as to not make them super soft (i like my veggies crunchy).

after the pockets de pita were cool, i cut them in half, drizzled some homemade ranch in the bottom, as i was out of plain greek yogurt, placed the chicken and veggies next, some spinach, tomatoes, parmesan cheese and avocados on top.

wanna see it again?

good.
fast.
healthy.

done. done. and done!
