This deliciously molten Peanut Butter & Banana Pita with chocolate is the perfect combination of sweet and salty and can be made in under ten minutes!! 

This is one of our favorite late night fixes. Quick, easy, and tasty, what’s not to like!? Don’t be surprised if some funky dance moves emerge in the kitchen while it’s being made, either.  Rumor is, some of “The King’s” dance moves were inspired by his late night tips with his iconic pb & banana twist!

 

Grab a napkin on the way out for what the finger licking can’t clean up!

Peanut Butter & Banana Pita (aka The Elvis Pita)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 slice Joseph's whole wheat pita
  • 1 tsp salted butter
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • (Optional: 1/2 slice of freshly cooked bacon, crumbled)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Spread the peanut butter over the pita. We use Joseph's Flax Oat Bran and Whole Wheat pitas. Slice the banana to your desired thickness and cover 1/2 of the pita. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the bananas. (If you choose to add bacon, add it now.) Close the pita, folding it in half (like a taco).
  3. Place the stuffed pita into the butter coated skillet. Heat each side until slightly golden (1-2 minutes).
  4. Let it cool for a minute and enjoy!!

Notes

If you choose to add bacon, I recommend cooking it before you begin step 1.

We love these things!! I like using naan bread, but pitas and other flatbreads work as well. You know how, when cooking things like this (or omelette or over sized quesadilla), flipping it causes a disastrous come apart? Yea? Forget about that! With this cast iron skillet method that I got from Guy’s Big Bite, you’ll have perfectly pressed sandwiches.  I prefer this method to a panini press any day, hands down. 

Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich

Fast and filling, these Mediterranean Chicken Sandwiches are full of flavor!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 pieces of naan bread
  • 1 lbs chicken tenders
  • Cavender's seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tbsp feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 tbsp peperoncini peppers
  • Also required: 2 different size cast iron skillets (large/med, med/small)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the chicken tenders, pat dry, chop, and season with Cavender's.
  2. Add olive oil to skillet and place over medium high heat.
  3. Add chicken and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until done.
  4. Take one piece of naan bread and top with chicken, spinach, feta and mozzarella, peppers, and tomatoes. Evenly distribute the toppings then place the second piece of bread on top. The goal is to have this pressed tightly and fully filled. It's better to have overflow at the beginning than to have a loose sandwich that falls apart.
  5. Heat two cast irons (one large, one medium or medium and small) over medium high heat.
  6. Place the completed sandwich in the larger cast iron. Then, take the heated smaller cast iron and sit it on top of the sandwich, ensuring that it sits flat to heat evenly. Press for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned and thoroughly heated.
  7. Cut in half and serve.
