The one thing I love about summer is all of the grilling we get to do and the eating al fresco (that means outside, right?). Even if you have those indoor grill pans, nothing beats the carcinogens of an actual grill. I mean the grill marks.
Our dinner tonight was grilled chicken pitas. I’m going to give you the recipe for the grilled chicken (super easy) then you just assemble with your favorite toppings. Mine has lettuce, Ranch dressing, and red onion. Yum!
