You guys almost missed out on this recipe. Lately I've been doing a ton of baking and cooking, but have been falling behind in the actual sitting down and posting part of this whole blogging thing. With the weather nicer, it's way more tempting to spend my evenings outside rather than sitting on my butt working on blog posts...especially when I've already been sitting at work all day!
It wasn't until I was going through the pictures I'd uploaded that I saw the photos of these pita sandwiches and remembered that I hadn't blogged about them yet. It definitely wasn't an option to skip the post...we loved these way too much! This is another quick weeknight dinner, which seems to be the trend lately. If you want to keep things under twenty minutes, either cook and shred your chicken breasts ahead of time or pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred that. These are crispy and crunchy with a smooth peanut sauce, the perfect filling for pita bread!
