Chicken Pita Sandwich
1 - Roughly chop the salad mix and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls and mini glass bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
2 - Mince the red bell pepper and the tomato. Then, add them to the mixing bowl.
Tip: We love these knives and recommend this quality kit from GrandTies for home and professional chefs. They are made from high-carbon stainless steel and are very versatile. Check out our detailed product review video for more information. We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.
3 - Cut the other avocado in half lengthwise and twist one half to open it. To remove the pit, gently press the opposite side to push it out. Dice the avocado directly inside the skin. Scoop the flesh and add it to the mixing bowl using a spoon.
4 - Mix everything together using a kitchen tong and set aside.
5 - Peel and slice the onions and the garlic clove and set them aside.
6 - Melt 1 tbsp of butter into a cast-iron skillet. When the butter starts to bubble, add the chicken breasts and let them cook for about 4 minutes. Season the top of the chicken and flip it after 4 minutes. Let cook for another 4 minutes.
Tip: Le Creuset is one of the best brands money can buy. If you want to learn more about Le Creuset, check out our detailed article "A Buyer's Guide To Le Creuset".
7 - Place the chicken on the cutting board. Next, add the sliced onion to the skillet, give it a mix using a silicone spatula, and cook for about 5 minutes. Make sure to mix from time to time to prevent the onion from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
8 - Mix in the sliced garlic and cook for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Stir to combine and remove from the heat.
9 - Add the pesto and the feta to the skillet and stir until well combined.
10 - Cut the pita bread in half and garnish it with the salad mix and the pesto chicken.
11 - Enjoy!
