Ingredients
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ½ tablespoons chili garlic sauce (such as Huy Fong), divided
4 (6-inch) whole-wheat pita rounds
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, thinly diagonally sliced
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup sour cream
2 cups chopped Bibb lettuce
Directions
Step 1
Stir together 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, add pitas to skillet, and toast until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Cut in half; set aside.
Step 3
Increase heat to high. When skillet starts to smoke, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken in a single layer, and cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 1 minute. Stir and cook until browned on both sides, about 1 more minute. Move chicken to sides of skillet. Add bell pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini to bell pepper, and cook 1 minute. Add scallions, salt, pepper, and sauce mixture; stir together, and cook 1 minute.

Ingredients
1/2 cup (40 grams) uncooked quick oats
1 pinch salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon spice
1 tablespoon dried cranberries (or dried fruit of your choice)
1 tablespoon almond slivers (or nuts of your choice)
1 cup water
Directions
To make your oatmeal jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: oatmeal, salt, cinnamon, cranberries and almond slivers. Make as many jars as you’d like and store in a dry area. If you don’t have mason jars, feel free to make oatmeal packets using zip-lock bags. Remember to label with the date so you can keep track of freshness. To cook the oatmeal with boiling water, bring 1 cup water to a rolling boil. Pour water into oatmeal jar and stir. Let the oatmeal stand for 4-5 minutes to soften. Then, stir and enjoy! To cook the oatmeal by microwaving, pour oatmeal into a microwave-safe container large enough for it to bubble without spilling, then add 1 cup water. Microwave (at power level 7) for 2 minutes.
