Ingredients

  • 1 count rotisserie chicken
  • 4 count whole grain pitas
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 count green bell pepper
  • 2 count romaine hearts
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1½ tbsp honey
  • 1½ tbsp hot sauce

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Pull about 3 cups of meat off the rotisserie chicken and shred it. Dice the bell pepper and run the frozen corn under warm water to thaw, then drain.
  2. Place the pitas on a large baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon ranch on each, then top with chicken, corn, bell pepper, and the cheese.
  3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, the pita edges are crisp, and the chicken topping reaches 165°F.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk the honey and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Chop the romaine and cilantro and toss them with the remaining ranch in a serving bowl.
  5. Drizzle the spicy honey over the pizzas (leave it off for younger kids), cut into wedges, and serve with the romaine salad.
  6. Picky eater tip: let them have a plain pita with just cheese and chicken, with the ranch and salad on the side.
  7. Make ahead: shred the chicken, dice the pepper and mix the spicy honey up to 2 days ahead and store each in the fridge, then assemble and bake when ready.

On the side: Garlic bread (10 min)

1 package frozen garlic bread

  1. Bake the garlic bread as the package directs, about 10 minutes, until golden.
