First Dinner!

I am so excited about this! Our very first Clean dinner was a smashing success! Chicken Pita Pockets with homemade ranch dressing! One word...Yumtastic! It was so easy! The kids were not huge fans of the pita. It kept falling apart, and food CANNOT FALL APART!! We avoided a meltdown by telling our 2 year old daughter, Lorelei, that she could just pick out the insides...big hit!

Chicken Pita Pockets with Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ingredients:
2 organic, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
4 pitas (whole wheat, organic. If there is anything in the label that you can't pronounce, move on)
organic spinach
organic cherry tomatoes
dash of sea salt

put chicken breast in an airtight storage container. sprinkle salt, add olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, and rosemary. close lid and shake until both pieces are evenly coated. Put in the fridge to marinate for 30 min. or more. (I usually do this when I have a bit of down time during the day that way it's all ready to throw in the pan at dinner time!). Grill chicken breast in a pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat for 10 -12 min. per side. Transfer to cutting board and cut each breast in half and then slice to bite size pieces. set aside
Cut each pita in half and fill with spinach and cherry tomatoes (I like mine cut in quarters). Fill with chicken and add ranch to taste.

Ranch Dressing:
5 tbsp buttermilk
3 tbsp plain greek yogurt
minced garlic
2 stalks green onion
1 sprig of fresh dill (go easy on this herb. it's a strong flavor!)
fresh parsley to taste!

Put all the herbs into food processor and blend until the herbs are finely chopped. Mix with buttermilk and yogurt until well blended and smooth! Easy peesy!

Enjoy!
