Chicken Caesar Salad in Pita Bread

Eating well doesn’t have to be so complex all of the time.

My go to meal is a Caesar Salad topped with a protein of my choice.

All you need for this delicious and quick lunch is:

Romaine Lettuce

Caesar Salad Dressing

Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Chicken Breasts

Black Pepper

Creole Seasoning

Garlic Powder

Olive Oil

Croutons (Optional)

Whole Wheat Pita Bread

How to make it:

1. Begin by coating your chicken breast with the combination of black pepper, creole seasoning, garlic powder, and olive oil.

2. Once coated throw your chicken in the skillet over a medium-low heat. Continue to check and flip your chicken throughout the preparation process until cooked to your liking, or once’s it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.

3. While your chicken cooks, prepare your salad base by combining the romaine lettuce, the desired amount of Caesar dressing, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Begin to mix to spread all contents evenly.

4. Once your chicken is done to your liking, slice it into smaller pieces and place over salad base. Finally, add your croutons if you prefer croutons with your Caesar Salad.

5. Use a knife to cut your Pita Bread in half, and gently open both halves.

6. Begin to place your Chicken Caesar Salad into both halves of the Pita Bread.

Voila! Ready to eat!

When it comes to this meal, it can easily be changed to your liking! I may interchange the protein with shrimp, steak, salmon, etc.

You may even cut out the Pita Bread if your goal is to have as little carbs as possible.

Save yourself time in the future by having your chicken seasoned, marinated, and ready to cook beforehand!

Keep it interesting and dress it to your liking with additions such as diced tomatoes, red onion, etc!

Hope you all enjoy! 💛
