Pita Pockets with Chicken
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Chicken breast fillet contains considerable amounts of niacin, also called vitamin B3. The B vitamin is a component of important coenzymes for reactions in all body cells - it is thus involved in energy metabolism, cell division and signal transmission.
You can fill the pita pockets as you like - how about feta, olives and artichoke hearts, for example?
