Quick Pita Dinner

I needed a quick dinner and didn't have much in the way of fresh stuff in the fridge.  Thanks to our amazing grocery store nearby that stocks many Mexican-friendly ingredients (hence it's nickname Mexican Price Chopper), I always seem to have jalapenos, cilantro, and limes.  I decided to make some spicy chicken to stuff into pita pockets.  I marinated the chicken in olive oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, jalapenos, and cilantro.  I sauteed the chicken over high heat until it was cooked through.
Since we've been trying to eat a little more healthy, I made some bulgar pilaf to go along with it.  The main spice was supposed to be curry powder, but I only had garam masala, which with the shredded carrots tasted a little off.  Or maybe I just decided I don't really like the flavor of garam masala all that much!  It was ok, but I probably wouldn't make it again.  The pita pockets, on the other hand, were a great "what I had in the fridge" dish.
