High-Protein Greek Chicken Pita

Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 45 mins
Servings 2 pitas

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Whole Wheat Pocket Pita
  • 8 oz Chicken Breast
  • ¾ cup Water or Chicken Broth
  • 50 g Parmesan Cheese Finely Shredded
  • 102 g Cucumber
  • 88 g Red Pepper
  • 62 g White Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 oz Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
  • Lemon Optional
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper For taste

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken with salt & pepper.
  • Heat up olive oil in non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Place chicken breasts in skillet, allow to brown for 10 minutes.
  • Flip over & cook other side for another 10 minutes.
  • Add water to skillet, place lid on top & lower burner from medium to low heat. Cook for additional 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • In a standing mixer, place warm chicken breasts into bowl & mix on low speed until chicken is shredded to desired texture. (I stick within a 45-60 second window when shredding my pollo!)
  • Chop up garlic cloves, & slice peppers/onions.
  • In a small non-stick pan, heat up olive oil over medium heat. (Just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Alittle goes a long way people!)
  • Brown garlic cloves for 5-6 minutes. Add peppers & onions. Once your veggies have softened up (above 15 min), remove from heat.
  • Chop up cucumber into chunks.
  • Assemble your pita!
    Greek yogurt to add some creamy texture! Shredded chicken for the gainzzz! Veggies for flavah! Cheese because- who doesn't love cheese on everything? (Plus Parmesan Cheese has the highest protein count of all cheeses- WIN!) Cucumbers for crunch! Parsley for a little touch of love! And last but not least, I like to squeeze a lemon over the whole pita for sour refreshment! Yummmm.
