I just had this for the first time a night ago and man it's so good and filling as well. I omitted the onions because I don't like raw onions. Also my calories came out different because of the type of bread I used, so make sure you count the calories the first time you use this recepe with the type of brand you use. I always mark out the book's calories and put mine in, including the calories next to each ingredient. Then I never have to do it again.
1 teaspoon salt-free Mexican or Southwest seasoning (I found one that Mrs. Dash makes)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small (1/4 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast-trimmed of visible fat
1 whole-wheat pita (6 1/2" diameter) (I ended up using )
2 Tablespoons hummus, preferably red-pepper flavor
2 Tablespoons no-salt-added canned black beans, drained
Several red onion strips
Several red bell pepper strips
2 Tablespoons chopped tomato
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 Tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese (I used 4 T Kraft fat free cheese which is 45 calories)
4 teaspoons guacamole (I used Wholly Guacamole - a half packet was 50 calories)
Preheat oven to 450.
Sprinkle the seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the chicken. Cook chicken in a pan with non-stick spray 3-5 minutes per side, or until no longer pink and the juices run clear. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Meanwhile, place the pita on oven rack. Cook 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly toasted. Place the pita on a nonstick baking sheet. Spread evenly with the hummus. Top evenly in layers with the beans, the chicken, onion, red pepper, tomato, cilantro, and cheese.
Bake 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minuts. Transfer to a plate. Slice into wedges. Top each wedge with your guacamole and sour cream, if desired.
Makes 1 serving
Per Serving: 356 calories, 38 g protein, 38 g carbs, 6 g fat, 68 mg cholesterol, 8 g fiber, 489 mg sodium. (these calories weren't what mine added up to, again because I counted mine individually according to what the package said for calories)
I added 100 additional calories for an extra flat bread round. As you can see they are LOADED, this is a super filling meal.
