2oz RF shredded cheddar
A few slices of purple onion

Garlic powder
Dried Thyme or Rosemary

1. Split pita so the inside is face up. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic powder and some thyme or rosemary (just a dash).

3. Top with chicken. Top with purple onion. Top each half w/1oz. RF cheese.

4. Bake at 400 until cheese melts.
