1/2 medium	Red onion (thinly sliced)
4 medium pita	Pita bread, whole-wheat

Cover and chill until ready to serve. (If you have time, make this a few hours in advance or the night before so that the flavors can marinate).
Season chicken breasts with Italian seasoning. Cook in a large skillet or pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Cut into strips.
Lay pitas on a clean surface. Add lettuce (if desired), chicken, red pepper strips, and onions.
