Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive oil

1 c red, green yellow, bell pepper, diced

1 small onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed

¼ cup shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese

4 Pita pockets

Directions

1. Cube chicken and dice vegetables and garlic
2. Put olive oil in the skillet and heat on medium heat
3. Sauté chicken with peppers, onion, and garlic in oil for about 10 minutes or until chicken is not pink.
