Expert Tips

Use thinly sliced chicken instead of the pork. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in center.

For extra fiber, texture and whole-grain goodness, use whole wheat pita bread instead of regular pita bread.

Actually tasty considering how simple it was. I wish there was a way to give it a bit more flavor though or could think of something that could be added to it. But for a quick and easy sandwich it was great.
