Chipotle Chicken Pitas
I found my love for this recipe when we had dinner at a restaurant we regularly go to. Instead of my usual, the Chicken Chipotle Pita caught my eye and I had never seen it before. Apparently, I was never looking because it has been on their menu for years! I devoured every bite of it and was determined to make them at home. Grilling the chicken thighs makes it that much better. And the homemade chipotle sauce...I could put that on anything!
Ingredients
Chicken:
4 boneless chicken thighs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
salt & pepper
Pita bread
Lettuce, shredded
Tomatoes, diced
Green onion, diced
Chipotle Sauce:
3/4 C sour cream
1/4 C milk
4 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 can chipotle sauce (if you use canned chipotle peppers, it will be spicy)
Heat up your grill. If you are using a pan on the stove, turn heat to medium high.
Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and rub onto the chicken thighs.
Cook the chicken thighs until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the chipotle Sauce, add all ingredients to a blender and blend until fully combined and smooth. Add to a dish or squirt bottle for easy use. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Dice your chicken.
Place your pita bread on a plate and top with diced chicken, tomatoes, lettuce and green onion.
Drizzle as much chipotle sauce onto your pita as you like! Enjoy!

Turkey Pesto Burgers
Now that we are getting into warmer weather, we will be utilizing our grill a lot more. Which means...BURGERS! And one of my favorites are these super simple, yet super flavorful Turkey Pesto Burgers! These can definitely be made with beef, ground chicken or whatever meat you like. Serve them with a side of tater tots or a salad.
I used the Greek Yogurt Bagel dough and made myself a bun out of it. (Something I will definitely be doing from now on)
Ingredients
1 lb uncooked ground turkey
2 Tbsp basil pesto
1/4 C shredded Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tbsp mozzarella or any cheese
salt and pepper
Bun of your choice
Toppings: tomato, red onion, lettuce
In a bowl, combine the turkey, pesto, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties.
Cook patties on a grill or a pan over medium heat.
Once cooked through, top with cheese and allow to melt.
Place patty on bun and top with tomato, red onion and lettuce.
