Italian Chicken Pockets

Contributed By: MMR

These sandwiches are easy to prepare and kids love them! It's also a good recipe to use up left over spaghetti sauce.

Ingredients

3/4 pound Boneless, skinless, chicken breast, cubed

2 tbsp Olive or vegetable oil

1 Medium green pepper, chopped

1 cup Sliced fresh mushrooms

1 package (3-1/2 oz) sliced pepperoni

1 cup Spaghetti sauce

3 Pita breads (6 inches), halved, and warmed

Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Preparation

In a large skillet, saute chicken in oil until no longer pink. Add the green pepper and mushrooms; cook until tender. Stir in pepperoni; heat through. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce; heat through. Spoon mixture into pita bread halves. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Cook's Notes

Sometimes I add thinly sliced yellow onions. And sometimes I use mozzarella cheese instead of Parmesan cheese. For added convenience, use already cooked and chopped chicken breasts.
