Whole wheat pitas

In a food processor, pulse garlic and onion until chopped. Add parsley, cilantro, EVOO, vinegar, lime juice, red pepper and salt; pulse until combine.

In a zip lock bag, marinate chicken in Chimichurri sauce over night.

Grill chicken over med-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until cooked all the way through.

In a small bowl, combine goat cheese, sour cream and lemon juice. Blend with an electric mixer; set aside.

In a small sauté pan over med-high heat, drizzle EVOO and sauté onions and peppers for about 5 minutes until tender.

To serve, spread goat cheese mixture on pitas, place onions and peppers on one side and lay chicken on the other side. Fold each half of pita together like a taco. Enjoy!
