Chicken Pita

This is again, off my P90X diet. I actually know for a fact that Aunt Jill's are much better. Hint-hint-- post your pita recipe!! Anyhow this one is fairly healthy.

• 9 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (or one canned chicken if you are lazy like me)
• 1 whole wheat pita
• 1 1/2 ounces of low fat feta cheese, crumbled (I couldn't find low fat so I used reg)
• 1/4 cup tomato, chopped (I didn't use this)
• 2 Tb red onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup cucumber, pealed and chopped (I substituted celery)
• squeeze of lemon

Grill or bake chicken in dish at 350 for approx 20 minutes

Cool chicken and cube into 1 inch

Place in pita and add all other ingredients. Squeeze lemon over top.

Pear and Granola Muffin

So I am trying to do this P90X diet. Here is one of the recipe's from there. It's really easy and good.

• 3/4 cup canned pear nectar (I used canned pears, and just use pear juice from the can)
• 2 egg whites
• 1 Tb vegetable oil
• 1 Tb lemon juice
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup of brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup of low-fat granola
• 1 Tb baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups chopped, pears

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

Whisk together first 5 ingredients in large bowl

Stir both flours and sugar in medium bowl until no sugar lumps remain

Mix in granola, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and pears. Mix in flour mixture into egg mixture until blended (batter will be thick). Divide among muffin cups.

***The recipe states it makes 10, but mine made about 16-18***

Bake until golden brown and knife can be inserted into center and comes out clean.

***They said 20 minutes, mine was more like 30 minutes***
