A 30 minute meal that is filling and has tons of flavor. Love using this recipe in the summer months when I just don't feel like heating up the kitchen. It is great to use that cooked chicken you've saved in the freezer. Found in Simple and Delicious 2009
Ingredients:
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 cup carrot, julienned
1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped
1 cup fresh snow pea
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cooked chicken, cubed
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth (or use white wine)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 pita breads, 6-inch size, halved
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute the onion, carrots, broccoli, peas and garlic in oil for 4-5 minutes or until tender.
2. Stir in the chicken, red peppers, broth, oregano and cayenne - bringing to a boil.
3. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered for 5-6 minutes or until heated through.
4. Spoon mixture into pita bread halves and sprinkle with the cheeses on each serving.
