12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 whole wheat pita bread rounds, halved crosswise
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 ounce soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 small pear or apple, cored and thinly sliced
Instructions
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 degrees 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.
