Like I mentioned afew weeks ago, our faux CSA with farmer F is really a success. Last week he gave us both parsley and cherry tomatoes so if there was anytime we were going to make this dish, it was then. It was helped along by Awa bringing some delicious thinly sliced chicken breasts which cooked up in a flash. My favorite type of dinner: one where other people supply the ingredients, and I just cook it (oh and eat it too, of course!).
Spicy Chicken Salsa Pitas (adapted from Taste of Home)

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice

Chicken Pitas
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts
4 whole wheat pitas
Combine all the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. Combine the cumin, paprika, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Rub over both sides of the chicken. Grill chicken about 4-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked through. Slice chicken and toss with salsa ingredients. Fill each pita half with chicken salsa and serve immediately.
