Lemon Pepper Chicken Pita Sandwiches

This is something we learned from our friends in Jackson. I think they're healthy, although we could have made them healthier if I knew where to find whole wheat pitas and didn't use so much cheese or dressing. (Dressing not pictured, I forgot it when I was taking pictures).

Here's the recipe.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Pita Sandwiches:

1 Rotisserie Chicken (or just cook your own whole fryer)--shred and put in sauce pan
1/2 T Lemon Pepper
2 T Lemon Juice
1/3 c water
2 Chicken Bouillon cubes

Bring to a boil on the stove, then add the bouillon cubes and simmer to reduce water (honestly, it's not much water, so just do what you can to get the bouillon cubes incorporated before you run out of water. Also, I didn't have any lemons, but lime worked just great!) remove from heat.

Cut about an inch and a half thick strip off the top of your pitas, open them and stick some slices of Pepper Jack cheese inside (or other favorite white cheese). Put on cookie sheet and warm in oven just enough to melt cheese (we actually didn't have any cheese, so I just spread the insides with cream cheese and it was also delicious).

Fill the pita pockets with the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, peppers, and whatever else you feel like. Top with Ranch Dressing and enjoy!

We don't often do pitas and we need to. I love the sound of that chicken! Thanks for the great recipe. I wonder how it would be with feta? Just to up the Greek-ness, you know?
