Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 pieces Bacon slices
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 0.5 small Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels. Brush them with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place the cooked bacon on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings. Set aside with the lettuce leaves.
Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a skillet for about 1 minute per side, just until soft and pliable.
To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise inside each pita pocket. Layer with a lettuce leaf, slices of grilled chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, a strip of crispy bacon, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
Fold the pita pockets closed gently and serve immediately with your favorite side dish or enjoy as is!
