These can be served cut up as an appetizer or whole as a light lunch. They can be cooked on a grill or under a broiler, and I have given instructions for both methods. This is from the complete Canadian Living Baking Book sponsored by Tabi Classic. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 chicken breasts, boneless skinless and thinly sliced |
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and thinly sliced |
2 cups baby spinach leaves, rinsed |
8 pita breads |
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. In skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over medium-high heat; sauté chicken for 5 minutes.
2. Add onion and sun-dried tomatoes; sauté until onions are softened and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
3. Rinse spinach. Wipe skillet clean. With drops of water still clinging to leaves, cook spinach over medium heat, stirring, just until wilted, about 1 minute. Set a side.
4. Lightly brush 1 side of each pita with remaining olive oil. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; grill until crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet, grilled side down.
5. Top each pita with spinach, then chicken mixture; sprinkle with feta cheese.
6. Place baking sheet on grill; close lid and cook until piping hot and cheese is melted about 5 minutes.
7. Broiler Method:.
8. To cook under broiler, place oiled pitas on baking sheet; broil until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn pitas over.
9. Top with spinach, then chicken mixture; sprinkle with feta cheese.
10. Broil until piping hot and cheese is melted about 4 minutes.
