1 ouncesoft goat cheese (chèvre)

1 green onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 cupsfresh spinach leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Brush chicken on both sides with some of the 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; set aside. For a charcoal grill, place chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170°F), turning once and brushing with the remainder of the 1 tablespoon vinegar halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chicken on the grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Cut each chicken breast half into 1/2-inch-thick slices. 2. Meanwhile, wrap pita bread rounds in foil. Place on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill about 8 minutes or until bread is warm, turning once halfway through grilling. 3. For sauce: In a small bowl, use a fork to stir together mayonnaise, goat cheese, milk, and the 1 teaspoon vinegar. Stir in green onion. 4. To assemble, arrange spinach, pear slices, and chicken in pita bread halves. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce into each pita. Broiling directions: Preheat broiler. Brush chicken with vinegar as directed. Preheat broiler. Place chicken breast halves on the ungreased rack of a broiler pan. Broil chicken 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170°F), turning once and brushing with the remainder of the 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar halfway through broiling. Heat pitas according to package directions. Continue as directed.

I'm allergic to pears, so I substituted apples instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. Yum!

I followed the recipe exactly and my pitas turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the pears. The chicken and spinach were cooked perfectly, though.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The pears added a subtle sweetness that complemented the chicken and spinach perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This grilled chicken spinach and pear pita recipe is an absolute delight! The combination of flavors is incredible - the sweetness of the pears pairs perfectly with the savory chicken and tangy spinach. I especially loved the addition of feta cheese,
