Shredded Chicken Pitas with Sun-dried Tomato Vinaigrette
I snagged this recipe from Celeste’s blog, Sugar and Spice, and these little pitas were so, so delicious.
They made for a light but very fulfilling dinner. This would be perfect to serve to company because it is unique and more than just an ordinary stuffed pita.
The balsamic and sun-dried tomato vinaigrette is tangy but not overwhelming and the lettuce and tomatoes add a great, fresh touch. We loved this – thanks Celeste!

Hey Mel! Another keeper in my book. I ran the calories and these work pretty darn well for a healthy lunch option! I’m throwing this recipe up on my blog (www.mimisfitfoods.com) with calorie counts tomorrow to share with my readers. Thanks again for another favorite!
Hi, this is Nicole’s sis, I can’t find the sun-dried tomato oil. Do you know which isle it could be on?
I found the recipe last week too and made them for dinner. They were super easy and yummy. Everyone loved them.
Yay! I’m so glad that you liked this recipe. It’s one of my favorites! =)
Looks like a nice healthy dinner or lunch for that matter. I enjoy a good pita sandwich every once in a while. Thankssharona may
