Jack Box Chicken Fajita Pita
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 green bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 whole wheat pita breads
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
3. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the seasoning. Allow the flavors to meld together for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Warm the pita bread in a toaster oven or microwave to make them more pliable for wrapping.
5. To assemble the Jack Box Chicken Fajita Pitas, place a generous spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture in the center of each warm pita bread. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro.
6. Fold the sides of the pita bread over the filling to create a pocket, securing it with toothpicks if needed.
7. Serve the Jack Box Chicken Fajita Pitas with your favorite sides such as salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for dipping or drizzling.
