How refreshing and delicious does this Chicken Pita with Peanut Sauce recipe sound?! This dish is loaded with protein and is a quick and easy option when you want to eat well, but don’t want to cook an elaborate meal. Which is me. All the time.

If you’re the same way, you’re in luck! Most of these ingredients are ones that I personally always have on hand. I would just need to run out and grab some pitas if I wanted to make this meal! The sauce is made of ingredients that are fairly shelf-stable and simply need to be combined to form the sauce. After cooking the chicken, the sauce is added to the pan until thickened, the chicken is coated in it, and it’s served inside the pita.

This lavorful chicken pita with peanut sauce are a meal that can also easily be used for meal prep! If you make the chicken ahead of time, all you need to do when you plan to eat them is assemble. It’s that easy! If you have leftover pitas, consider making some hummus and dip into it. We have several recipes on our website, including this (best) hummus recipe, this baked hummus recipe, and this black bean hummus recipe.
