Chicken Pita with Hummus

This is a yummy recipe and literally takes 10 minutes to make!  You don't need an abundance of ingredients and can make a bunch and save it for lunch the following day.  This is a good way to get in a variety of vitamins from a bunch of veggies as well, it is one of my new favorites and so so so easy.
You can us any veggies you want I used cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and lettuce (all these colors make it pretty too!)  You could use some yellow peppers too, I didn't because I thought I had enough kick in it already.
This would also be a perfect picnic, I was going to bring them to Lake Calhoun but that trip fell through and we played sand volleyball and grilled out instead.  Try and share with friends and family this recipe truly is Just Good Food!


Recipe:  (serves 2)
 
2 pocketless pitas
1/4-1/3 lb chicken breast
2/3 cup cut cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1/3 cup sliced carrots
1/4 cup hummus (I recommend chipotle)
2 garlic cloves
1 cup chopped lettuce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp red pepper flakes
freshly ground pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cumin


Directions:

Marinate the chicken breast with red pepper flakes, 1/2 tbsp olive oil and red wine vinegar, cumin, paprika, and oregano for a few minutes.  Warm a grill to cook the chicken breast and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side.  Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumbers and carrots and mix together in a dish with remaining olive oil and red wine vinegar with minced garlic and freshly ground pepper.  When the chicken is done, cut into bite size pieces and mix in with the veggies.  Warm the pitas on the grill and spread the hummus on them, shred the lettuce, and top with the chicken salad for a delicious and healthy meal.
