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.
