Dijon Chicken Pocket

Dijon Chicken Pocket
Get It Done Nutrition - Focus T25 Recipe
(makes 1 serving)

Ingredients
2 oz. Cooked Chicken Breast, cubed or shredded
2 tbsp. plain nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. chopped raw pecans
1 whole wheat pita, cut in half to make pockets
parsley

• Combine Cooked Chicken Breast, yogurt, mustard, and pecans in a small bowl; mix well.
• Fill both pita halves evenly with chicken mixture
• Garnish with parsley if desired.

I usually cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts and prepare enough for the week. It makes things SO much easier. Just grab and go! Simple, healthy, and delicious lunch/dinner prepped for the week in about 30 minutes.

I cut up the chicken after it is cooked and measure out 2 oz for each day. Then I mix the chicken with the other ingredients and put it into baggies. Each morning, I wrap it all up in a tortilla or stuff it into pita bread. I don't like to prep the wrap/bread ahead of time or else it gets soggy. I loveeee this recipe! It's so simple and very yummy!
