I thought this recipe sounded really good (it's from Clean Eating magazine's recent newsletter):
Chicken Sausage Pitas with Grilled Peppers and Onions
http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/newsletter/april2009/
You’re going to love our clean version of a stacked chicken sandwich, but what you’ll love even more is that one serving contains less than six grams of fat!
Makes 4.
Hands-on time: 15 minutes. Total time: 20 minutes.
Here’s a quick and delicious recipe that can be served for lunch or dinner. The ingredients cook best on an indoor grill, but a regular pan will work just fine. The pitas are perfectly paired with our Napa Cabbage Slaw.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
* 1 tbsp nonfat Greek-style yogurt
* 2 tsp agave nectar
* 3/4 small red onion
* 1/2 red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips
* 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips
* 2 3-oz precooked chicken sausages, cut in half lengthwise
* 2 whole-wheat pitas, cut in half
* 4 cups arugula, loosely packed
INSTRUCTIONS:
ONE: Prepare an indoor grill to medium-high.
TWO: In a small bowl, combine mustard, yogurt and agave. Store in refrigerator.
THREE: Cut onion into 8 wedges.
FOUR: Grill onion and peppers until softened and lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill sausages until lightly charred and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Grill pitas until warm, about 30 seconds per side.
FIVE: Spread mustard mixture into open pita halves. Cut sausages in half and arrange in pitas. Add peppers, onion and arugula, dividing evenly among pita halves. Serve warm.
