I had made this for lunch the other day. I had grilled my chicken in a grill pan the night before with a little bit of jerk seasoning on them. Then in the morning I had mixed all the ingredients together and let it sit in the fridge till lunchtime. I had used red peppers only because I prefer them otherwise I did everything as written. I found it needed a bit more flavor though probably more italian dressing with salt and pepper. I had warmed up my pita pockets in the microwave before filling them. Makes for a filling lunch with a bowl of soup. It was enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your recipe Gingerbear. Made for the Think Pink Tag Oct'09

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
