Three posts in one day... the sky must be falling...

Just because I cooked last night for the first time in a while, I decided I'd share the recipe.  I got this from my friend J when we lived together for a summer a few years back.

Honey Mustard Chicken Pitas

2 large or 3 medium boneless chicken breasts
olive oil
1 large red bell pepper
a few tablespoons of brown French mustard
a few tablespoons of honey
pita bread
sharp Cheddar cheese, sliced

Trim fat and gristle and dice chicken into 3/4 or 1 inch cubes.

Saute chicken in a tablespoon or so of olive oil (in batches if the pan gets too crowded) until cooked through.

Add a large dollop of mustard and one of honey.  Stir into the chicken.  The mustard should thicken up the pan juices; if still runny then either cook down the sauce or add more mustard and honey to taste.

Seed and dice the bell pepper into 3/4 or 1 inch pieces.  Add to the chicken and cook until heated through but not soggy.

Cut a pita round in half, open up one half and line with 1-2 slices of sharp Cheddar cheese.  Spoon in chicken mixture.  Eat.  Repeat until it's time for dessert.
